Brrrrr
While I am still puttering along with the RIC program, I decided to do my own experiment. I have an infrared thermometer, so I have been checking the temperature of my left (CRPS) foot often. I have discovered that the lower the temperature, the higher the pain. I'm trying to figure out what causes the temperature to drop.
Barring figuring out what the trigger(s) are, does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on how to keep it "normal" body temperature? I already wear a fuzzy sock (sometimes 3 or 4 of them layered on) and have used a heating pad/blanket but I am thinking something I can function with while keeping my foot warm.
I am planning on discussing this with the PM on Friday (program day). I am also noticing that the amitriptyine makes me fall asleep harder (faster?) but I am still waking several times through the night and haven't noticed any difference in my pain level/parethesia/delayed touch so I am thinking he is going to increase to 75mg this week.
