I even tried a diet pill when trying to lose weight..still no energy
I even take 20mgrs of Prednisone a day..no energy
Has any of your doctors told you what it is about RSD that makes us SO tired?
I cant do any exercise because of herniated back discs and my entire abdomen is swollen..i cant do anything to raise my cardio. I do sit down exercise videos and lift small weights. there just has to be something to help with energy.
please tell me what you do or take
thank you

Hi Lori,
I used to get quite tired when I was on medications such as Lycria, topomax, Neurontrin and others I can't even remember all I used to take. That was all about 3 years ago before my last ketamine infusion. After my last one I just got off almost everything except for 1 pain med. and I'm hypo-thyroid so I take synthynroid,which has nothing to do with the RSD. I really think is was the gabapetine drugs that made me so tired. I remember driving and almost falling asleep I just could not keep my eyes open. So if you are taking any of that stuff maybe it's that.
I just started over the summer with not sleeping properly again. I don't know what this is all about but right now I have the worst sleep pattern. Example: Yesterday woke up a 5am, went to the gym with my daughter came back tried to clean 1 bathroom, watched some football, my husband cooked ate and by 7pm I could not keep my eyes open.. Fell asleep woke up at 1am up until 4am and now I'm up for the day since 5:45am. Also now my arm/shoulder is killing me because I tried to clean a bathroom. Very frustrating. I have to try and get out of this pattern any suggestions are welcomed.
