New symptoms
Hi Mary
Every change in my body that's occurred since I got RSD and it's spread is just so totally scary. I've panicked lately when I've had backaches, or my ears are buzzing, or my feet hurt a lot. And I think my panic just makes things seem worse and causes me to get really tense and depressed. I am even beginning to wonder if some of my symptoms that I think are RSD could be related to my meds - I increased the amount of Topamax that I was taking earlier this month. Maybe your new med needs to be tweaked, I know you were so happy with it at first. And check the side effects (webmd.com).
Also, I have found that sometimes the pain in my feet is really bad, and sometimes it's more tolerable, and if I walk on them a lot then they tend to go numb and then I can't feel them at all. Same with my back, the pain is intermittent and sometimes isn't that bad.
I hope that you doing OK. Please take care. Sandy
