Meds can cause nausea which in turn can make you sick like that too. Many people don't realize that they have a sensitive stomach till they get something and have to take meds. I second everyone else's opinion and would see another doc that is willing to do some testing to see if you have an ulcer or something that is causing your symptoms.
It's very easy to see rsd as the cause of other things that go wrong with us. Especially since we were fine before all this. Don't listen to this doc because we know it's not all in your head. Hope you can find some answer soon and really hope it's something simple and not the rsd messing you up. Hugs, Karen

Millerprof hi, I agree with the second opinion as your symptoms could be many things. However as other have posted , they too sound just like symptoms of internal rsd. Of course rsd involves internal organs, i have it in stomach and colon. I deleloped Irritable bowel syndrome after acquiring RSD. Also after the obvious signs of rsd were disapating, I only had the classical signs for a brief period and was not diagnosised for a year and a half, I was told by no less than 9 physicans from neurologist to internist to get over it, take valium, its all it my head. basically i was a baby they is always residual pain from a broken bone. As you probably know I have full body RSD. So certainly get a second opinion as I said , your naseau and vomitting are signs of some very bad illness as well as RSD. Take care and good luck. CZ

Hi, I think that while it can be RSD, it first needs to be ruled out that there are OTHER systemic things going on, especialy as there are many things that can be taken care of, and maybe you will have a good treatment for the symptoms. So..just because you have RSD, doesn't have to mean that any additional symptom you have is related to RSD (much as some doctors might like to have things in neat little packages...). So it is important to be tested for endocrine stuff and for metabolic stuff and blood work for all kind of other things to make sure that you don't have anything else treatable going on there. Being in pain all the time can affect your immune system, and then you can get all sorts of buggers hitching a ride into your system. So my recommendation--get a second opinion, see another GI, insist on seeing an endocrinologist, and I hope they figure out what is wrong with you AND know what to do about it.
