Hey Russ! I have had some eye issues, including blurriness, and the drs have concluded that it is RSD related. It is good that you contacted the dr and are ruling out anything else. Medications can always be a factor too, but not for me since I wasn't taking anything.

Good luck to you!!

I'm so sorry Russell - what if anything can be done? Is this caused by CRPS or something different entirely? Just curious.

Wishing you better days,
Tessa

Hi Jesika, (Love the spelling!)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially about myself, but there's really nothing that can be done. Except for experimental surgery so that's out!
Noboby's cutting into my head while I am able to stop it!
I just hope it stops by itself before any further damage.
I've already lost some of my motor skills. Hard to talk, walk, and stand. Now I cant sleep on my back for fear of choking on my own tongue.
Sorry for the bad update...
Love all you guys... :grouphug:

I'm really sorry to hear this news.

There's literature out there to suggest that gray matter shrinks in RSD. Is this a problem we all have but just may not be aware of? I mean, I have blurry vision, brain fog and all the other symptoms they claim go along with this shrinking gray matter. Just wondering.
