I only took them for two (weekend) periods after tmj surgery, long ago.

But, straight pain relief, without the Buzz, is where it's at!
(Am I being cruel?)

The point is, the closer you can get to "Living a Normal, YOUR Normal life, wether that be raising children, working, driving, etc."
That's success, at Managing RSD.

Then, we must deal with our bodies aging.
(The alternative is not good).

So, back to the "Triangle of RSD management"

Meds = Your Doctor and You

Mood = Your neuropsych doctor and You.

Body = Excercise, You!

Keep that body ready for retirement, even though you may feel that you're retired, or simply "existing" now.

Do I practice what I preach?

A Question for another day....
