After I left my pediatric doctor who said that, I found a great experienced neurologist who said I was suffering from severe tremors. Search for tremors on google, and you should be able to find some information and see if it fits what Ali is going through. I shake all over and sometimes my limbs jerk suddenly. I still cannot walk unassisted but I have gotten somewhat better with Baclofen to calm down my muscles. I know Ali was on Baclofen before, but perhaps she needs a different dose or another muscle relaxant?

Hope this helps you. Many ((pain free hugs)) to you, Ali.

Hi Vanessa, its Alison here,
Thanks for all your help and advice. My PM doctor took me off Baclofen because I could not take it whilst taking Lyrica, and he also said that it was not doing anything for the tremors. I want to try another muscle relaxant, but my PM doctors not said anything about trying something else.
It seems that many people suffer from balance problems with RSD, I am going to should my doctor all the research we have done and see what he says.
Pain free hugs
How are you?
Take care
Alison

You are very welcome, Ali. I have been through so much and just want to share my experience in hopes it will help you in some way.

Hmm... that is interesting! I have been on both Lyrica and Baclofen together. Since you said that I looked it up on drugs.com and it does say that there are moderate interactions... but I guess that is the risk we take sometimes. I thought it was interesting so I am posting the link: http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactio...en_d00967.html
