Default Chasing Symptoms of RSD please list yours

I am so grateful for all of your posts. I just wish i could meet you all and give you hugs in person for all the help i have gotten here! You have given me hope to live because I know I am not alone and that you are trying to get through your day where you are!

The more posts i read...I say.."oh yeah i have that too" Since there arent any books...if your up to it could you list your symptoms and what you take for it even if its OTC meds. My hubby keeps saying my problems are from all the meds i take but if i cut any of them out , i am more miserable.

I have Abdominal RSD from 3 surgeries and my abdomen is very swollen

I have bad acid reflux take reglan and OTC Acid reducers , lots of tums
Diarrhea Imodium daily
Gastroparesis i am supposed to take Protonix but just cant afford it on my insurance
Sleep apnea wear a Cpap mask
Short term memory loss
constant fatigue i take caffine pills all day (dont drink coffee)
Fentanyl patch takes away tissue burning pain
Methadone very little (it makes me too sleepy)
left arm swelling ( my doctor drains it and i keep pressure on it)
swelling and numbing both feet a little it changes daily
Burning tissue also take Neurotin
Nausea i take promethezine
Swelling and spine pain i take prednisone (long story)
Diabetes metformin
Diabetes Glimepiride
Gas pain take OTC gas ex
Bladder pain i take Oxybutinin
sinus pain and stuffiness OTC sudafed non drowsy once a day
I have always been asthmatic so i use an inhaler for that.

I think thats it.

Im just wondering how many symptoms are all caused by RSD in us or are some caused by the meds we take for it?

Thanks in advance for sharing. I think it may help us all if we see how similar or possibly different our lists are.
