As you all know, my 16 year old daughter has RSD, and she takes nothing for pain. But, she has brain fog all the time. I think it is a symptom of RSD. When she is in a flare the brain fog pretty bad. So, I am just adding another aspect to the brain fog.

It's quite frustrating to me, as I am young & was relatively healthy before all of this hit me.
I would say that I suspect the medicine, but I started out on Neurontin/Effexor and over time have switched to Lyrica/nortriptyline, and the issues have not changed, so I really don't know. I have read that it is a symptom of the CRPS itself, but I'd prefer to blame it on the meds. I just really don't know.
