Roz--I have several questions about your visit to Mexico. What kind of treatment did you receive? Do they know what causes RSD? Are you taking anything different, did they take you off the meds you were taking? What about the cost as compared to here. Inquiring minds want to know everything!!! Hope whatever you are doing is working!! When you get rested up let us know. Thanks, Carose

carose asked many of the ?? I had - but one more - was it kind of scary - or did you have you full trust in the treatments?

So glad you are back!! Ya was missed ya know, did ya know that?? well did ya?? Hmmmmmm???!!!!

Haven't gotten any new foot comforters yet!! Feet are swollen like there is no tomorrow. Doc says and I quote "Mark My Dear - What did I tell you about walking around so much with slippers"??! So I have put myself in a bad way for a bit. Paying the price for stupidy but a lesson well learned. Just that it was all I could wear at the time. Oh well. She sometimes talks like she is paying my bills!! RIGHT!!!!

Once again, so glad your back and safe to boot!!

Chin Up!!! Love Mark xoxoxo

Hi,

I have the TOS/RSD DX but a little while back I started having some rough eye problems. I had to be on alot of antibiotics, my immune system is on the ground.

It's mostly a Cancer clinic their, they also treat alot of other medical conditions. I also test positive for R/A but I went to 3 R. MD's who say I don't have it. They are in agreement with that as well they treat R/A. Some of the treatments I have had are the following week are DMSO IV, Chelation therapy and IV Vitamins. I have been having circulation problems too. I just started taking a tablet called Cal Rutina.

I am a hairdresser but I really believe their could be a few different roots to RSD. In my case I feel something has gotten into my wiring, this is just my opinion for my RSD. Are nerves in our body are supposed to be protected like a electric cord.

Hugs, Roz

Here is a link about Cal Rutina. Maybe someone could interpret? I am only on 2 tablets a day. Hugs, Roz

[Description: Rutin is a bioflavonoid. Pure rutin is yellow or yellow-green colored needle-shaped crystal. Rutin is a flavonol glycoside comprised of the quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose (rhamnose and glucose).

Distribution: Rutin is found in many plants, fruits and vegetables. The richest source is buckwheat. Rutin is also found in citrus fruits, noni, black tea, apple peel. During digestion much of the rutin is metabolized to its aglycone, quercetin.

Action of Rutin: Rutin has strong antioxidant properties. Rutin has also the property to chelate metal ions, such as iron, thereby reducing the Fenton reaction (production damaging oxygen radicals). Rutin also seems to stabilize vitamin C. If rutin is taken together with vitamin C, the activity of ascorbic will be intensified.
Rutin is important because it strengthens capillaries and can help people who bruise or bleed easily. Studies have demonstrated that rutin can help to stop venous edema, that is an early sign of chronic venous disease of the leg.
Rutin has anti-inflammatory effects. Animal studies have shown that rutin has preventive and healing effects.
There are indications that rutin can inhibit some cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions.
Rutin may help to prevent atherogenesis and reduce the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL-cholesterol.]

[Rutin

The flavonoid rutin is a flavonol glycoside comprised of the flavonol quercetin (see Quercetin) and the disaccharide rutinose. Rutin is found in many plants, especially buckwheat. Other rich dietary sources of rutin include black tea and apple peels.

Rutin is considered to be an important nutritional supplement because of its ability to strengthen capillaries, whereby helping people suffering from arteriosclerosis (the hardening of the arteries), high blood pressure or venous insufficiency. Rutin belongs to a group of plant compounds called bioflavonoids that also include the important catechins of green tea and the polyphenols of red wine. Recent studies have shown that the bioflavonoids are powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals. Free radicals are said to be responsible for as much as 90 percent of all the human diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, strokes, senility due to aging, etc.

Typical doses used are 500 mg once or twice daily. Those with venous insufficiency/varicose veins often use 500 mg taken twice daily.
