I am going to talk with my pain mgt. doctor about:

getting a digestion aid medication (but making sure it is not going to cause another illness, as did the Lyrica and the Topomax.)

I am sleeping with my upper body elevated. MANY TOSers have reported needing to sleep in a recliner to control their symptoms...so this is a slight help.

I need to get a rescheduling to a good rheumatologist (last time was 3 years ago) and make sure no immune / rheumy illnesses can be detected. If so, I want immediate help to try to fight them.

I see a direct connection between TOS progression, RSD and this autonomic neuropathy...why an ER doc couldn't make the diagnosis / connection I honestly don't get, because I am not a doctor, just a legal person! But the symptoms are so spot-on, I hate to self-diagnose, but now I have this to bring up to my next doctor's appt.

God bless.
