p.s. most of u know i have epilepsy....and had started the drug Keplin 12 days ago 2 help my Lexapro work better. well, just started having seizures - had 2 get off Keplin - even had 2 begin Attivan..... helped settle my nerves!  |
RSD can for sure be on one side of your body. I had surgery on my right hand and came down with RSD on rt hand,arm and shoulder. I also understand that it can move to opposite side? Are you getting nerve blocks? I got nerve blocks along with physical therapy and it really helped---the two go hand in hand. The most important thing is to keep things moving---even if it hurts!! Its strange, I have partial epilepsy also. I wonder if there is a connection between the two??? I take Lamictal for my seizures. I hope what ever treatment you are getting brings you much relief from your pain. take good care---keep in touch----hutch
