Hi Rita and Reed,

RSD causes a lot of things to happen. It is an automic (spelling) disorder-which means
it affects the involuntary organs. The sympathetic nervous system affects high blood pressure- I had never had high blood pressure before either. Para Sympathetic Nervous system-low blood pressure. So we can have dramatic drops, also. I'm on two high blood pressure meds. Pain meds do cause constipation- I have a high fiber diet and take natural pills to help. I don't know about the bladder. But it comes under the automic organs, heart, lungs, I would ask your Dr. about that. But I thinkI'm going to have to go off the Lyrica, having lungs issues and I've read several on this forum are affected by Lyrica on this organ. Just to find a Dr. that understands all of this interconnection is a miracle. Take care and let us know how you are> I see my Dr. Monday. Loretta
