The change in the desert weather from mild spring to now summer hot has caused my RSD on my arms to come out tonight.
Scared to death. I am taking Benadryl and Ativan (additional) to try to stop it. Does anyone else suggest anything??? HELP. Probably using this site earlier tonight did not help, and it may have added to pop it out or may have even caused the RSD to come, since I haven't been on for a long time. There is no question that the computer causes this. |

Dont know if you want to try a supplement but grapeseed extract works really well. Vicc wrote a lot about it in the RSD forum before he passed.

This started as a question about RSD, but I think it fits many situations:
Ok, here's what I did: I upped my Ativan and gave myself my breakthrough amount of Dilaudid. Then, I took one dose of baby Bendadryl. (I used to love it for this, BUT, it started a restless leg, leg pain thing and my injury is basically the right side. Funny, how we stop eating "real food", as I now drink Glucerna with milk added, and Gatorade, as well as freshened water. On the other site I warned about the pitfalls of not staying on schedule with your regular meds - a doctor and I discussed - and I mean just discussed the importance of making a topical that works for each individual, so that you can go off or go down on your meds, and that included mixing: pain relief - such as dilaudid pills, just a few for a large container of cold cream a very, very small bit of steriod, an inti-inflammatory, things good for the skin such as Vit D and Aloe, etc. Well, I talked to my pain mgt. doctor about it and he put it in my reporr that I was mixing drugs for a topical and the work comp then refused all of my meds!!! (We have a date for trial on this.) So not only did I not do it, but they accused me of being an opiod addict and that it is called a "Las Vegas cocktail" when you mix up heroin and coke and get high... I was VERY upset with my doc for not listening to me, but now, it created a need for the attorney and a hearing and just to get my bare minimum meds I've had to pay cash!!! Outrageious, don't you think??? And this was MY doctor!!! I think many of "our" doctors (not on the list), but ones we choose, are really insurance protectors and have no regard for our pain. I really do. Thank you for your reply, and I hope that my reply may help others, also. |
