Has anyone found something that works well for them during a flair-up? I've had RSD for 2.5 years, but it was just diagnosed last December. I've had several lumbar sympathetic nerve blocks,am on 2700 mg Neurontin, Clonidine, EMLA cream, 1000 mg Naprosyn and 45 mg Prevacid a day. I am in the middle of a severe flair-up and have no idea how to break it. It's been 4 straight days of unrelenting pain. I do not have an RSD doctor. I will be seeing a rhuematologist on July 16th and saw a neurologist last week. The neurologist told me RSD does not spread, even with a second injury, it does not cause muscle weakness, spasms, etc. so I decided this was not the doctor for me...lol. There are really no doctors in MN that know RSD and I cannot afford to see Dr. H. in FL. I have it from the neck down and am in horrible pain right now. I live in Minnesota and we are having very high temps (90's) with high humidity. I don't know if that is the cause. We do not have air conditioning. Do you have anything you've found that helps you out during a flair-up? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
