The more posts i read...I say.."oh yeah i have that too" Since there arent any books...if your up to it could you list your symptoms and what you take for it even if its OTC meds. My hubby keeps saying my problems are from all the meds i take but if i cut any of them out , i am more miserable.

I have Abdominal RSD from 3 surgeries and my abdomen is very swollen

I have bad acid reflux take reglan and OTC Acid reducers , lots of tums
Diarrhea Imodium daily
Gastroparesis i am supposed to take Protonix but just cant afford it on my insurance
Sleep apnea wear a Cpap mask
Short term memory loss
constant fatigue i take caffine pills all day (dont drink coffee)
Fentanyl patch takes away tissue burning pain
Methadone very little (it makes me too sleepy)
left arm swelling ( my doctor drains it and i keep pressure on it)
swelling and numbing both feet a little it changes daily
Burning tissue also take Neurotin
Nausea i take promethezine
Swelling and spine pain i take prednisone (long story)
Diabetes metformin
Diabetes Glimepiride
Gas pain take OTC gas ex
Bladder pain i take Oxybutinin
sinus pain and stuffiness OTC sudafed non drowsy once a day
I have always been asthmatic so i use an inhaler for that.

I think thats it.

Im just wondering how many symptoms are all caused by RSD in us or are some caused by the meds we take for it?

Thanks in advance for sharing. I think it may help us all if we see how similar or possibly different our lists are.

OK, here's the deal with me as no one RSD case is the same...I have been on everything that you can imagine, but I NEVER take any OCT meds unles my doc clears it and hopefully you have done the same. But I have to tell you that caffeine is REALLY bad for RSD....it can exhasperate your symptoms to the sky! My doc give me B12 shots twice a month and I am getting ready ti d those at home. Caffeine is not good for diabetics either. My advice for you is to make sure you tell him about the extra OTC meds.....plus I am quite sure that your liver is not enjoying all that stuff too. You definitely came to the right board to ask questions....everyone is sooo very kind and non-judgemental
Hope you feel better
