I was told today by a neurologist that RSD does not spread to your lungs and that I have something affecting many "body Systems" and she could not help me. Is that code for, you don't have insurance and this is too big for me without it?
I thought OMG she thinks I'm wacked too! I had to pay to be insulted again!
So I started looking at the vascular issue instead of the lungs because I had this hyper dialated feeling in my lungs and a flushing up my neck and a moment of whoosiness . The burning in my mouth and lips too. Now it's in my chest wall, so along with "hot pants" I have "hot shirt" too, lol.
Anyways getting back on track, I found on, low and behold, "Wicca Pedia" (grin) the sympathetic nervous system and guess what it does? It dialates the bronchioles. I also found my constipation issue (before opiates) called digestive track peristalsis. The SNS affects organs functions, like pupil dialation, heart rate and force of contraction, renin secretion of the kidney and promotes ejaculation for starters.
Surley this neurologist had SNS 101? My blood pressure increase that too, as goose bumps and of course the famous fire and ice sensations.
BTW I can't chew gum sometimes because the mint makes me crazy lung dialated and my eyes water and nostrils burn like I stuffed vicks in them. I too have felt the icy vein syndrome, I thought I was nuts. Thank God this stuff waxes and wanes durning the day and I have some reprieve from the really ugly stuff.
What hasn't cooled off is the rage I feel towards a few doctors I've been dealing with, egotistic jerks. I really enjoy being treated like a child and a nut case by the educated elite in the medical community. I have lost a lot of respect for doctors lately. I sometimes wish I could wish this on them and then they would have a clue. They would be quick to act if they had to walk in my shoes for a while. Sorry for venting, I just flushed 400 bucks down the drain on doctors, like I have a money tree in the back yard. Tomorrow I'll go yank a couple hundred more off and go see another one.
