Hi Julie and Welcome, I'm so sorry to hear you have RSD AND Migraines. They are both bad boys each in themselves. I've had RSD 12 years and Migraines about the last half of that. I fell backwards suddenly and hit my head on pavement ( the air hose at the gas station malfunctioned and suddenly pulled me backwards) Naturally they replaced it the next day before dawn. (smile) I have a ruptured disk in neck. and I also have trigeminal nerve disorder. I have bad headaches nearly every day and I seem to have less lately as I try to get out every day for a little bit. I was pretty much inside and in bed for over a year. I think the exercise and I also changed from 3200 mg of neurotin to 300 mg of lyrica. Also went off two double dosed anti-depressants to one low dose-cymbalta. Atitutde is so much better and family support too.
The B2 info sounded good, I'm going to research that and ask my Dr. about it.
You'll find lots of helpful friends here and encouragement. How long have you had RSD and when diagnosed? Hope it is within the time frame for blocks to possibly put it in remission? What kind of Dr. diagnosed you? and do you like him/her. Sadly, I was misdiagnosed like a lot of us, so missed the window of time to get the nerve blocks to put into remission.
This is also a good site for your friends and family to visit and learn, when they understand what is involved, they are so much more compassionate. We hope the best for you! Loretta
