hi pat

I too get panic attacks, which before RSD I didnt. I remember the first one and it scared the living bejeevies out of me, I honestly thought I was having a heart attack. Now since living with them over the years, you know when one is coming.

The only thing that seems to work on me lately is valium, I was rx'd this for the charlie horses (my words) and burning in my back, and realized that hey, I havent had an attack since being on this. So I tell my primary doc this and he suggests going off them for a week and see what happens, yup panic attacks again with a vengence; so after seeing me in a full blown attack, he put me back on them.

I dont like being on meds, but until I can this under control again, I'll do what I have too. I really should of been back to Dr L by now but I have been putting it off for one reason or another.

sorry, Im rambing. Your not alone in this and Im always a message away if you want to talk. Do I think its all related to RSD, absofrigginlutely < said to make you smile

wish I could be more helpful, but hang in there my friend, we'll get through these too k.
