Hi Gabby! Have you tried vitamin c infusions? I had an ankle injury 8 months ago and my rsd started to spead to my ankle. It was bad. Then I had a set of vitamin c infusions and the ankle got a lot better. Alternative medicine centers have those kinds of infusions sometimes. There was a study that actually showed that giving large doses of vit c to patients after injuries, seriously lowered the likeability to develop rsd. So don't dismiss them as there are scientific studies backing them.Vit c works by activating circulation. I would give them a try.
Good luck and best wishes! Big hug!

janejane,

Someone else just said the same thing on this fourm, I think it was kathy d. I have to check all that out. When you say Alternative Medicine Centers what do you mean? I have never heard of that. I live in NJ about a 1 or 2 or 3, demending on traffic, for NYC. If you have any recommendations I would appreciate it. I would love to go all natural if I could. So I would definitly be interested. Does insurance cover it?

Thanks for the info.

Hi! So sorry for the delay in replying. I didn't forget about you, but I had an awful bunch of problems and have been so overwhelmed.

Did you find where to get the vitaminc c infusions? I don't know if there are places in NY where one could get that done. I only know tye ones in the Boston area. Insirance doesn't cover them but for me they work so great! I wish you could try them. I am going to call the doctor who prescribes them here and will ask him if he knows where to get them in NJ or NY.

How are you lately? Hope that much better!

Hi janejane,

Sorry to here you had some problems going. I hope they have resolved themselves for the positive.

The headaches I spoke about months ago was corrected by the proper glasses. So now I don't get headaches any more outside of the usually.

I've had a rough summer. Humidity is the worst for me. So honestly I don't go out unless I'm in my office,which is freezing, in my house or by water between the hours of 11-5. I just can't handle the heat. And I have had some RSD return like running water down by arm, the little bug feelings I used to get and even on my opposite side which has not happened in 3 years. So I am a little concerned just waiting for the heat to end and hopefully the feelings will stop. I have had some increase pain but not serious. Not going to panic yet.

Thanks for getting back to me. Your very kind.

Hi!

I am so glad that your headaches are so much better. For me cold temperatures are the worst, not so much the heat so I start to get worried in the fall because it starts to get colder and my foot doesn't like it.

I spoke to the Dr. with whom I have the vitamin c infusions. He said that he doesn't know of anybody in NJ who does them, but that he knows there are doctors in NY who do. He said that the best way to find them is going to the American College for Advancement in Medicine's website. He ssaid that they have a list of all M.D. doctors who do infusions there. I tried to find the list but couldn't find it because I browse the web using my cell phone and I couldn't see the whole website with cell.

If you are still interested do check the website or give them a call. If you ever have a flare up, I highly recommend the VitC and magnessium IV infusions. They have helped me so much.


Best to you and good luck! Please send me a PM if you everr need help or info regarding the vit c iv's.
