I was upset about narcoticsl, but FINALLY my pain has decreased, less sensative, not turning purple constantly, walking is easier! I am so happy. I guess i have to just except the fact that i have RSD and i may need to take medicine that I dont like but that helps me. I still do epsom salt baths or foot baths which really help. Hope this helps someone else. momof4
