Hey fewdalord,
I'm so sorry you are feeling so ill.A lot of us have other disorders besides rsd. I have fibromyalgia. I have a lot of achiness, feels like the flu. It is an autoimmune disorder. Some feel it comes from the immunte virus of epstein barr.
There is another drug similar to Neurotin, called Lyrica, and some RSD patients do better with Lyrica that Neurotin. I switched and felt better, less pain. It also has the side effect of weight gain.,but maybe you could discuss Lyrica with your Dr. It doesn't take as much-I was on 400 mg. of Lyrica instead of 3200 mg of Neurotin.
Don't forget about epson salt baths. Take care and keep in touch. loretta
