Good luck, Sandy
Hello Sandy..
I agree the meds are big butt kickers and caring with them large side affects... The least you can take and still live with RSD and not havingto cross your eyes in pain the better off you will feel as far as meds interaction..As you probably read, I am not taking any meds as I have such a sensitive tummy.. part of me is relieved that I don't have to think about the harshness of the meds on my system.. but then again RSD naked is a killer ... so where we going here..happy medium I guess.. some meds to take the edge off but not to take too much...then again over time the effectiveness of the meds does wear off.... Oh dear!!!

Enjoy your day, Sandy..
