Its strange, I have partial epilepsy also. I wonder if there is a connection between the two??? I take Lamictal for my seizures.

No nerve blocks - 2 much pain 4 me resulting in
temporary relief! i go 2OT twice/wk; PM dr once/mo; psychologist once/wk; & neurologist twice/yr. i've had epilepsy since age 16 - taking Tegretol XR 200mg and a 100 mg plus phenobarb. Taking 1500mg/day Neurontin & 10mg Lexapro.....take Ativan 4 anxiety or "impending" seizures. Also was prescribed a compounded "Keg Gel" topical pain cream for my pain areas. My RSD, as i said, began in wrist (left arm) & went 2 left foot! I've been heavy researching RSD sites 4 "traveling" of RSD. good sites: 1)
