Dear folks,

I learn so much here....why I love this site. My primary problems are autonomic and my pain, while spreading, is now (sort of) managed by nortripyline. Yet I know I need to be better educated about opioids. Of course I'm grateful for and defer to all here who have direct experience in this.

I had read that more conventional opioids are less effective against neuropathic pain than less conventional ones...like methadone and levorphanol. I'm wondering if people here have experience with these, as well as ketamine....which is often discussed on the RSD/CRPS forum here.

I also had never heard of hyperalgesia until it was mentioned on this thread.....but it does sound like something to be considered by LisaPeach.

I do appreciate all I am learning.....thanks everyone.

Sylvie
