I went for over 3 year's before any Dr/Dr's. could dx me with what I had! However during that time without any dx. I could not stand the pain. I was on all kind's of pain med's and had multiple stay's at the hospital with a morphine pump. I then decided to go to a inpatient clinic to get off all of the drug's I was on,still not knowing that I had RSD. I was there for about 14 day's. During that time I cannot even tell anyone how much pain and syptom's I was having going thru withdrawl. I fiannly left and stayed for a few day's at my parent's house because I was still on 1 med which I had been on for over 12 year's (clonazepam) which I had started because of severe panic attack's. The 2 day's after I went off of that I could not stand the pain,also was vomiting and sweating all day and night. My weight went from about 115 pds to 96pds. I finally went to see a Nuerologist who did an Emg and that is when I found out that I had severe RSD. To make a long story short,I am back on some pain med's. However I did find out that I have a low tolerance. I do not care if I am addicted at least I can try to make the rest of my life the BEST it can possible be!! Breezy55
