My thumb constantly twitches, and my arm feels very weak, with deep muscle spasms. I've had some sweating, and this was really new and weird my lips, nose, neck and face looks swollen.

I was never a small framed woman to begin with by I wasn't fat either. Since I've been on Cymbalta, and Zanx my weight has increased 30 pounds. But back to what I was saying. I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired!

I've got somewhat of a delicate question. Does RSD/CRPS cause or contribute to incontinence? Two days ago I walked into the next room and it just happen! It was like your water breaking before giving birth!! Ever since I've been using the restroom every 2 hours. Nothing burns, nothing smells, nothing hurts, color is fine and it is a good even flow.

I've mention to the doctor once before that I was having dull deep contractions the kind you feel that reaches from your lower back to your front. He asked if I had been moving my bowels and I said, I don't have any problems in that area. He just looked at me like this. Don't know if I have RSD/CRPS II or what no one has said.

But I thank you for taking the time to read my post. Please get back to me if you have any suggestions
Glad to see you got you SGB but sorry it didn't do much for your pain I know how you feel about being "sick and tired of being tired of being sick" , I love it, it fits perfect. Also about the weight gain I have gone up and down 60+ lbs more than once since I had my accident and I truly believe it was from some of the anti-depressent meds. I used to take also Lyrica was a killer for me as fas as weight gain it's a nightmare. I don't take any type of anti-depressant meds. or Lyrica type medication it all puts weight on for some people and a lot of weight. I'm on the way down again but I hope I never have to do this again. My closet has small, medium and large clothes it's crazy.

Hope you feel better.
