IHH - I agree with Jo - get the bp checked on the thigh.

You might have orthostatic blood pressure where your body can't work with going from sitting to lying down fast etc. And actually fits in with the whole sympathetic nervous system thing that RSD is. It could also be a contributing effect to your jelliness (well, come on! imagine not having blood going to your brain, which always takes priority, so then decideds to chuck you on the floor to give you more brain blood). Ok. that's my guess anyway. I know a dr explained it some time back, but i wasn't feeling great when he explained so I just tried to look intelligent and fight the urge to throw up all over his nice expensive suit!

I think that orthostatic bp is pretty easy to test for and I think that some meds will help it? Mine isn't treated atm because I am never standing or even sitting straight and upright.

Will email you back in a bit sweetie, but gotta go and shoot a rabbit that just arrived via Willumywoo....

Love ya tons
