I have been sleepwalking the past few months. Last night I woke up just as I was bashing my head into the wall. I wasn't falling or anything I was simply hurting myself.???????
I have also been seeing things at night. Sometimes people I don't know are in my room or I see shapes. I also fall asleep throughout the day sometimes sitting straight up or standing.
The Drs. are saying these things are not related to RSD, but I was normal once!
What the hell is happening to me? Is anyone else with this seem like they are going crazy?

Very nice to meet you... You are not crazy..but you do suffer with a totally mean RSD condition and for that I am really sorry... After reading your post my frist thought is what medicine do you take..I believe not just for pain but any meds as maybe these excursions could be from pain meds or interaction from a blend of meds you may be on... Did your Dr. review that possiblity with you?? Also do you have someone to talk to..I am referring to a councelor of some type..Our families and friends are wonderful but the longer we have this condition, it is good to have a 'neutral' person on board... so we are free to just open up about our feelings and RSD..Most of all..remember no matter where RSD takes you, it is a complicated animal with many different colored spots...It causes us all to have to step back and question ourselves from time to time..keep in mind..we are all here routing for you and there is no silly questions..We are family here and I welcome you to hang with us...
Hugz, Kathy
