Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I'm not one to offer advice for wc but I wanted you to know I feel bad for you. I have been going to the tanning beds...and when you mentioned the cold and and rainy weather it just got me to thinking. Also where everyone has been talking about how we all need to get out into the sun and fresh air. But with my RSD I can't stand the wind blowing on me. So I did talk with my Dr about the tanning beds...and of course he said it was okay as long as it was in very small amounts. And it didn't bother me. I have gone a few times I will tell you the warmth of the beds have been wonderful...they even turn the fan off for me. I have only been going for a few minutes at a time but it does feel like it is warming me up clear to the bone. I haven't felt that since before the RSD. I am always so so cold. Just wanted to mention that to you. I did worry if my sensitive would let me do it but so far okay. The tanning place has worked with me....in fact was interested to see if it will help my pain. Just thought it would give you a option. Plus they tell me it is good for depression..I will see.

Spring, sorry it took me to long to respond, I just found this post. TYVM for the info, sounds great, I may try it. I have been meaning to ask you, if you would not mind telling me that is, what meds you are on? I have a dr appt, FINALLY next friday, and he and I are gonna have a come to Jesus discussion. He has been known in the past to ask me what I thought would work, so I thought I would ask you and the other RSDers what ya'll were on. Maybe this way I will have some ideas before I go in, and the jerk offers me aspirin and coffe or some crap, lol,

Anyway,
Thanks,
Sithie

Sithie, I will start another thread just for ideas for you to take to your Dr next Friday. But right now I am just in awful pain. Mo not thinking to well. You know I sure wish I knew what brings on theses flare ups.. I haven't been to bed in two nights... it is now 4:20 am and here I sit. But this is the first post I have tried to type. So hopefully in the next day or two I will feel better. When the pain gets likes this...I just can't fuction...mentally or physically..heck I don't have to tell you..you live it too. I could just go and get some mophine injections but I try to work through it. But if the pain isn't better by noon I 'm heading in. Oh heck I hate to talk about it....I will be fine. We can start the thread regarding what do you do for RSD pain. I will just go start the thread but no post to it just yet...oh I gotta go.
