I haven't put my own post on here for awhile, but have been keeping up with most of you. So maybe some of you can add an opinion.
I'm starting to feel like a human chemistry set. Most of us know there is no medicine for CRPS/RSD & everything we get is "off label" & made for other diseases/conditions and may happen to work for us. Mid November my P.M. Dr. rx'd 2 new drugs: Topamax (for migranes) for me to try. I took it for about 6 wks. It did not seem to have any effect, other than G/I issues so I stopped. I did not want to try 2 new drugs at the same time. So, now I'm on day 6 of taking Namenda (for Alzheimer's). I guess she thinks there is some connection of how the drug works on the nerve reactions in the brain. I'm still taking Cymbalta, low dose Lyrica, Baclofen and I still get Stellate Ganglion blocks about every 3 weeks. I've had 20-21 of those & I'm really tired of getting stabbed in the neck and being a zombie for the day. I'm past a year mark with this. I hate to use the term "give up", but has anyone else just stopped with all the experimentation and found a way to just settle for the disability and cope?
