ello..
Hi there I am Sandra.. nice to meet'cha..
I second the good advice already given, a recent study builds on previous evidence that vitamin C may reduce the risk of CRPS after fracture. In the study, 416 mostly elderly women with fractured wrists were randomly given either a placebo or up to 1,500 mg of vitamin C daily for 50 days. Those patients who received vitamin C were significantly less likely to develop symptoms of CRPS compared to the placebo group.
So it stands to reason that Vitimin C and antioxidents for that is what vitimin C is, would help slow the spread of CRPS.. I know for a fact that high doses of antioxidents such as grapeseed extract cut down on the sunburn effect of the spread of RSD. I learned this lesson too late for myself.. but I up my antioxidents whenever I get a flareup and it helps tone things down.
Goodluck, I also drink ALOT of Acai and white tea's, both high in antioxidents as well, I have full body RSD but it is less severe than it was before I started this antioxident protocal.
hugs,
Sandra
