I have other medical conditions, so I know how important it is to be your own advocate... which is why I have been learning as much as I can.

I'm not using this as my only outlet for learning. I am here more for support, suggestions and understanding from others in my situation. I have researched on the site you mentioned as well as rsddrx.com and several other sites.

Contraindicated can also mean undesirable for treatment I apologize if I caused anyone undo concern.

I have no delusions that I will ever be pain free or any pill will fix the RSD. I have come to terms with that a while ago! I do however want to feel the best I can while doing the least damage to my organs!

My daily dosage is down to half of what I was taking. By the time I see my PMD I will be off it entirely. I am willing to try different medications that are not pain relievers to manage the RSD as long as the pain is managed. I plan to always have a pain reliever to take if necessary. I am also going to try medical marijuana at some point to see if it helps. I have read mixed reviews on it helping RSD pain.
