However, have you ever tried something mild like valium or lorazepam? My doctor had me on a small dose of valium twice a day years ago and it really did help the overall pain. Headaches were not as intense, and also it helped with the Causalgia and stress. I now take Lorazepam twice a day as needed, it truly helps my pain much better than any of the other pain medications that I have tried and it actually calms down my stomach. It is kind of like one of those cover all medications. But in my opinion, the valium was better cause it had a greater effect on the muscle spasms as well. There is also another home remedy for severe headaches that your husband would love....my naturopathic doctor told me about and it really works. If you can't figure it out, pm me and I will clue you in. Hope your symptoms ease up.

So nice to hear from you and I really appreciate your thoughts about the meds.. so thoughtful of you.... thank you.... unfortantely i have tried not only the valium but also the Lorazepam..I ended up praying..you know over the percelian god... I learned long ago..see I had to have bilaterial first ribs remvoed after a car accident.. 22 yrs. ago..I had TOS (who knows if that is related to my RSD showing up or not)....but after my first rib.. and trying the meds for pain then..I did the second rib on Tylenol only.. it was so not worth getting sick with cuts in my chest.. But it doesn't stop me from trying new stuff as the RSD pain,. as you know is relentless... Have not had a break from it in almost 3 yrs... Iam either crazy or stubborn...I think a bit of both... Honestly..I get thru by the love in my heart and know that life is still precious even if I have to grimice once in a while ...walk funny and fake it...
So darn nice to chat with you, Jeanie..thank you for thinking of me...
Have a restful evening....
