Hi there;
Is there anyone else out there that has RSD and MS? I was just diagnosed with the MS a couple of weeks ago and my head is still spinning. I'm trying to research MS as much as I can - including the forum here on NeuroTalk. I am just wondering if some of the symptoms I have been having - thinking they are RSD - could be the MS. My feet go numb - tingling - pin and needles. I have had trouble trying to stand in the past due to my TKR and the RSD setting in the knee, but lately, I am so wobbly when I stand - I feel like I'm 99! Its almost to the point some days I should really use the walker but my stubborness is using the cane. I am also worried about using the shots for MS treatment - how it will be with the RSD ..the side effects they say could be up to 6 months of flu like symtoms. I am on Methadone, Oxy, Lyrica and Cymbalta already - and have bad days where my stomach turns a little on these. I have found a really good nuerologist and MS clinic that is very informative. They even give a "dinner" class for 6 weeks , once a week, that I can bring hubby to. They give you dinner as they approach MS information, such as the MS society and how they can help, the meds, how MS affects your body, etc. Wouldnt it be great if they had something like this for people effected with RSD?!!! My nuerologist has not had a prior patient with both RSD and MS, so an adventure we will have, I guess. Sorry to ramble - I am just in a down mood at the moment trying to take everything in. It helps just to know you guys are here and will read this. Thanks.
