The stabbing pain and fire and little pins and torture that I have felt in all the other places I am now feeling everywhere. Is RSD capable of spreading without you doing any damage to another part of your body? I don't want this to spread. I am only 38 I can't take much more of this. Please help me someone. I can't even get my doctors to listen to me I really need a lot of help.  |
It is possible, but you may also be having a bad flare that will subside again... I had a patch like this a few months ago and thought I was going mad with the damn thing, shooting electric shock type pains throughout my body, pain and soreness all over the place, GI pain with vomiting and diarrhoea (twice, a couple of weeks apart, for no reason, and the rest of my family didn't 'catch' it), also some spasms, twitching etc. it was horrible. I changed meds and watched my diet and stress levels, and it gradually eased off.
I think sometimes the CRPS just goes a bit crazy throughout your central nervous system, and affects everything for a while. Hopefully it doesn't mean it is permanent spread.
I do hope your situation improves really quickly, and you feel a little better soon. Must be a miserable time
Try to stay calm where possible, eat healthily, and try to keep gently moving if you can. Distractions and small treats might help you feel a little more human for a while...and you definitely deserve something nice
Take care of yourself,
Bram.
