The dog and biting. I recall reading an article of a girl who got rsd from a bee sting. I have seen multiple neuros but my pain management doc has been the one who deals with rsd most. I have seen many rsd pain doc who deal with this and have written articles and you don't have to have all the symptoms or have an injury to have rsd. On the med front. Three years ago I started on the meds like neurontin etc. Anyhow at that time I either started at too high of a dose or did not give it time to have the side effects wear off. Then last year I went back on some of the meds I had tried but started slower and some not horrid side effects I tried to push through them. Of course horrid side effects it is not good but like when I started Cymbalta I thought I would throw up from nausea but with in a week it went away. I am glad loretta is helping you she is great
