CRPS Treatment and Research: What's New? with Sean Mackey, MD, PhD - RSDSA

[@jacquelynmcclellan910]

This presentation confirmed much of what I have slowly figured out with my RSD. I don't like taking pain meds long term and have used exercise, distraction, an pinching another area and gotten relief. Had RSD for over 25 yrs. Recently had bad flare-up that has spead the symstoms to my legs, but never gave into it. Use mostly mind control techniques spurred by fear, telling myself "it's not so bad" even when I can hardly walk. It works some. The psychological aspects I believe can keep you in or lessen intense pain. Rejecting it can relieve to some degree.

Yes. What most people that DON'T HAVE RSD/CRPS really don't get is HOW MUCH pain we"re really, truly in. We are THE BEST PRETENDERS & can hide our pain w/excellence when out in public and with friends&family. We DON'T WANT TO cancel events planned in advancebecause of the way I feel. We feel sad, depressed, & 24/7 severe pain! Pain Dr's, Neurologists, rhuematology rhuematology, etc. DON'T want to treat ME because "MY.case is too complicated?!!!" What am I supposed to do when I'm going thru withdrawal of my meds each month and trying to find a GOOD DOC 4my RSD/CRPS&Fibromyalgia

Find a lawyer to sue them all for abandonment. This is a very serious disease and it needs opioid meds to control pain.

I am a 25 year old male with CRPS and took LDN (low dose naltrexone) for 3 weeks and my primary symptom became worse, sensitivity in hands. CBD pills handle my pain without any side effects. Just my 2 cents.
