I was first diagnosed with RSD a year ago after being in a car accident five years ago. I saw a number of doctors and described my symptoms but received no diagnosis. However, after talking to some friends with the same problems I was referred to a doctor who could finally tell me what was going on.(I WAS'NT CRAZY AFTER ALL). I have been taking doxepin (for sleeping) lamictal (to calm down my nervous system) effexor (to help me keep it all together) and oxycotin (to help with pain). Well, after all that I am still having problems . My next course of action is thalidomine. I hope this will work. Any believers who are out there please pray for me.
