I have not had this issue. I do know that many people with RSD develop gastroparesis...not sure if that's what you are experiencing but may be worth looking into. So sorry to hear what you are going through...I know that being ill and having RSD just do not go well together. I had many many months when my RSD was spreading and out of control where I was throwing up 7-8 times a day or more...but in my case it was just because of the intense pain, dizziness, nausea, etc. Once the pain stopped spreading and we got the pain more or less "under control" I was much better...though in really bad flare ups I will still experience this. Which is super fun because that makes the pain so much better...not. Hope you get some relief soon...let us know what the doctor says.

I suspect you are reacting to additives in your meat.
Most food intolerances or allergies have a component of rash/hives/bloating/diarrhea/or vomiting. However, monosodium glutamate (MSG) is added to many foods, and especially Chinese entrees and Asian food in general. MSG causes many neurological reactions as you describe. Almost all restaurant food and processed food have it. One has to learn to read labels carefully before preparing any food at home. Soups, and stews often have MSG in them. Chips and snacks and seasonings also often have MSG. Lays does have a few MSG free products, but you have to read labels to find them. This link gives also the 40 or so OTHER names MSG goes by: Recognizing or diagnosing MSG induced adverse reactions There are other additives where meat is concerned... mostly preservatives of some kind. I'd Google around if I were you, and look for other offenders added to meats or found in restaurants.

Hi Galena,
Food allergies can develop at any time to foods that were once tolerable. They are commonly associated with different types of protein and can arise in response to beef or pork. I myself developed a severe shellfish allergy after years of eating shellfish with no problem. When I asked my allergist about it we skin tested and it came back positive. I agree with Mrs. D about the MSG or additives. Your mention of pork fried rice made me think the same thing. You could ask your doctor about this or see and allergy/asthma specialist who would be more familiar with these issues. If you do have an allergy, symptoms can worsen with ongoing exposure. It is always reasonable to make sure something else isn't going on medically before attributing symptoms to CRPS.

Along with the possible MSG thoughts, I wonder if you have looked at any of the "Eat Right for your blood type" books..
Also a website now- The Blood Type Diets: Blood Type and Your Health You may see some connection to the listed good or bad foods for you type..

It is thought that B6 and taurine may be an antidote to reversing the MSG negative reactions.
I'd use P5P for this B6 as it is activated and faster and safer. Taurine would be at least 500mg a day up to 3 grams if necessary. Both are affordable and fairly common. I get my taurine at Puritan's Pride. This NOW brand is one I've used for many years. One a day of this is plentyl Amazon.com: NOW Foods P-5-P, 5 mg, 6 Tablets: Health & Personal Care Taurine is good for helping nerve functions, and also sluggish gall bladder. (it complexes cholesterol in the bile and allows it to pass more easily and preventing cholesterol gallstones.) Taurine has recently been found to help tinnitus also. It is a good investment for nerve pain IMO. more here: The Forgotten Longevity Benefits of Taurine - Life Extension

I endorse what mrsD has said about taurine and tinnitus.
I have been taking it at 1 g/day for about six weeks and it has helped with irritating tinnitus in one ear.
