I've had RSD for around 5 years, started in my left arm/hand, but has recently spread to my ankle and foot on left side. I've had the twitching and jerking for a long time now, at first it was quite subtle but now I couldn't hide it if I tried. I think someone else mentioned hot cups of tea/coffee - I've burned myself on a few occasions. A few weeks ago my leg was twitching and my slipper actually came off and hit my husband. No bad thing maybe!

Vanessa, I wonder if your pain doctor has ever mentioned Vitamin C to you? I was recently advised to start taking this in addition to my other pain medication. So far I can't say I've noticed a difference in my pain, but it's early days yet.

I'm pretty new to Neurotalk, but I know there are lots of helpful and very knowledgeable people here for you to talk to.

Take care
