I thought I'd add my experience with sleep problems and RSD. I've had it for 5 1/2 yrs. It started in RT upper ext, went to left, and neck, and I think it's in my feet and legs since '02.

(By the way, I wanted to ask others that had their RSD spread how it happened/felt. I mean, first the bottoms of my feet started burning at night. Then, burn during days, & burning started moving up both legs progressively. It was different with my arm, I was injured & it hit, boom! Is this how a "spread" would feel? Doctors just sigh and change the subject because it's WC & they don't want to rock the boat. One Neuro doc I saw thru HMO did say it was probably small fiber polyneuropathy. Is that RSD?)

Anyway, sorry, I've been a light sleeper for yrs, and at one point '97 was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, so I don't know if that's why. I think so. But the muscle rrelaxants & Lyrica I take for RSD usually put me out. Although, I wake up off & on when I move, etc, and it causes PAIN.

That's the only problem I haave.

Glad to have you Michael!
