As most of you know she doesn't take may narcotics for her RSD pain...Just every so often. As far as what came first the gastroparesis or the narcotics...Of course she has always had stomach issues. So who knows. I don't think she has taken enough for long periods of time to cause the Gastroparesis, but I understand it is showing up more and more in RSD patients. I love all of the articles...Thank you Finz and Dr. "Lost in Space!_ (One of my favorite shows as a child!)
Not sure about the Methadone when we head home. They are giving her Toridol for pain IV and Benedryl at night to help with sleep. The Benedryl is an amazing drug through IV, she slept like a ROCK!
You all have help me through so many bumps in the road over the years. I have had to watch this beautiful girl suffer so much. I will keep you posted.
Love you all xoxoxox

Sandy....
This breaks my heart!!! Iam so sorry for Lindsay's set back.... This is just terrible news and I'm so sorry.. I wish there was something I could say or suggest that may help give you answers. As you know, I just continually try medicine to help with my pain but they have all made me ill to this point. So I really don't have much advice on helpful meds for our RSD. I do understand the gastropharsis end of this and it is a new spin on our already RSD troubles... I will continue to hope and pray for Lindsay, yourself and your family to get thru this latest flare and move forward to less pain...It is so frustrating and so much worse to watch your beautiful young girl have to suffer with this.....You are a wonderful Mom!!!
