Confused

Lit Love, I read the SSRI discontinuation signs and symptoms which sounds similiar to what I'm observing, my question is I havent discontinued anything so why would I be having these symptoms? That is why I said it may possibly be MS. All the symptoms seem similiar.

It can occur from not taking your meds at exactly the same time, or it can just develop as a side effect I believe...

So I had my sleep study last night. I will not know the results for 2 weeks or so. In the meantime, my pcp is sending me to a ent. However, yesterday I found out I have an abdnormal ekg. So I see a cardiologist on the 10th. please say some prayers.

I will hope for you good luck! These things are always scary, I had a brain MRI testing for MS a few years ago, frightened me rigid...it was all clear, but of course you do fret. I have an abnormal rhythm myself, think its not uncommon with the meds and CRPS combo. Hopefully yours is just a scare. Try to stay positive.

Wanted to give everyone an update. Getting heart moniter on the 24th for a week, then brain mri to rule out early Meinere's or MS. Also checking for lyme dx. I feel much better being that they are being so thorough.

Sounds like a lot of the same stuff I went through. On the one hand...it's scary and physically draining to go through so many tests...but I feel really grateful knowing there's nothing else going on and just my RSD because as bad as that is I cannot imagine ALSO having something else that is a serious condition. I was also grateful that we did all of this in one year since I was using my regular insurance and I actually reached my out of pocket maximum for the year...something I hope never ever happens again but at least at the tail end of the year I had no OOP expenses other than the copays. Made that second half of the year slightly less stressful.

Good luck and take care.

My fingers are crossed for you that all these tests give you some sort of answer alt.
