Thank you, Ada. Actaully the things I'm experiencing with my hands are from the RSD. My pt told me this would/could happen. It's why she gave me some of the certain exercises she did, and why you will see pics of some ppl with the rsd in the hands hae the "claw hand." What happens is the tendons in the center of the hand "shorten" and begin to pull the hand "into" the center of the hand, drawing everything in, until it becomes "concave" sort of. And I believe that is what's happening. It feels "tight" in there. The spasms are in the center of my hand, along the fatty part under the fingers, and also in my palms, and in the fat pad of the palm where the thumb is. It's related to the RSD. Sigh....and I tell my SO almost everynight when he asks what he can do to help, "You can cut off my arms! Right at the shoulder...right here! Please?"

And he wont do it

The pills, this pharmacist claimed that they are supposed to be the same as the white ones I get from my other, regular pharmacist....they are just made by a different distributor. But, I wonder if the "different distributor" has ones that just don't work as well. I wonder if there is a difference, or if other people have noticed a difference when switching pharmacies, and getting a different "brand"???? Would that make any sense, you think??? Would my doc use THIS as an excue now???

Thank you for responding hon.
