Spike,

I noticed when I was first lurking here that there were people who listed lots of drugs, but who were still in pain asking posters about other treatments. I wondered about the ineffectual polypharmacy. Maybe this jumped out at me, because I was treated like an addict and not given much. I mean really, one doctor said he might give me topical lidocaine-" maybe in a few weeks."

Deepak Chopra made a statement that two drugs used in the right combo equal four. Unfortunately, not all PM doctors understand CRPS the way he does.

I don't want to hijack this thread and get off topic, but I think we all need to be aware that polypharmacy may cause us other problems.
