Angel,
I am so sorry for your difficult road. The constant pain is so exhausting. I've had TMJD for 4 years, RSD for 2 months. Both are debilitating. I, too, take Zanaflex at night. It was when I tried taking it during the day as well that my BP would drop and make me feel so exhausted. The muscle spasms are getting bad in my legs, so they may need to try me on something else. Skelaxin gives me terrible headaches. I'm going to ask about the Baclofen.
Yes, the Advil usually takes care of most of the pain with the TMJD. The few times I've been on steroids from my back have been the least pain I've been in for years, as well.
I'm so sorry you have RSD in your face. Mine is in my feet and the pain is in my legs as well, but I can manage that. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to have it in your face as well. I do think it may be spreading to my hands now, but that hasn't been confirmed. I am noticing redness on my palms, aching and prickly sensations. I never would have thought anything about it if I didn't already have RSD in my feet and knew what it feels like.
I guess we all just deal with what we have to and do the best we can. It is amazing what the human body can tolerate when it has to. I hope you are having a good day!! Talk later!!
