Default Any suggestions for relief

My friend has RSD since 3/06 - first r knee - with SCS attempt with to both feet in OR (the pain was so bad they aborted the procedure).

Now looks like it has spread with a major flair in the face/neck/head/back.
This skin is bright red (some color changes around the eyes) hot (you can feel the heat coming off it) burning, itching and sweating.
3 ER trips now and tons of blood work - all normal. has sub grade fever of 97 to 97.4. He is in misary (can not stand anything to touch him) no sleep. Looks like he has major sunburn with skin peeling off.

Also, flair in left lower leg and foot - looks like the foot is being burned from the inside out to the point it has major blister that are now draining. Wound clinic said they had no idea and could not help.

Any suggestiong on how to deal with the upper body stuff. Now on 300 mg of Lyrica times a day.

Will see internal med tomorrow and the PM dr from Anchorge Alaska who comes here once a month (most times)/

I pray for all how have this horriable RSD.
Thank you
