Dear Krank and All,
I had to reply to your quote when you said "I asked my PM guy and he just dismissed it along with the RSD spreading to the epidural sight. I am wondering if I need to dismiss him. So this has lasted six months for me anyway. " Gosh, I get soooo mad at the insensitivity of some people...and esp doctors!!! Yes, I think if you can you need to find a better doctor that is more understanding of rsd.

I have had the throat swallowing problem for over a year now. Dr. S said it was a part of the RSD. I do have full body and it is internal too. Fun stuff huh? haha. I never had it in the beginning (almost 6 years ago) but have noticed it alot more over the last year or two. Also, I had the ketamine this past Sept and have noticed a decrease in it or maybe I am just so bad with everything else I don't notice it as much HA???!!! When it happens I try to calm myself down and grab some liquid to help it down. Now, I don't ever eat anything with at least some water nearby in case it happens. I think it is a terrifying thing not to be able to breath or catch your breath and I think maybe it is a natural reaction your body goes through with sweating and anxiety when you can't swallow or breath. Scary. Best of luck to all. Hope this helps.
