Wow, I can say "been there, done that." I am having such a terrible flare that I would have gone to the ER yesterday but I know how they are & refuse to go through that again. Can't get into my PM for a week and a half, I did what Mark did - had a couple of glasses on wine. Amazing how so many people are so anti-drug (which really can give us some relief) & think we are drug seekers when they have absolutely no clue what our pain is like but we can just go buy achohol. I'm in such a terrible state of pain & have been for two and a half weeks. Sometimes I think the medical personnel don't know what to do with RSD so they just pass us off.
Hope you're feeling better.
