RSD PUZZLE # 107                                                                 

Poor Memory And Visual Problems: RSD Has Four Principles

1. Hyperpathic and allodynic pain

2. Muscle contraction in vessel walls and in extremities

3. Inflammation (edema, ulcers, etc...)

4. The 4th principle is constant input of pain in the limbic system (Frontal and Temporal lobes) causing poor memory, irritability, insomnia, and agitation. Antidepressants, especially Trazodone or Desipramine and better control of pain, improve these complications. Another cause of poor memory is tendency for poor cerebral circulation.

Blurred vision, dizziness, and poor balance are common manifestations of RSD. The disease causes constriction of vertebral arteries resulting in poor circulation to the brain stem, this in turn causes poor focusing of eye muscles, and poor balance and dizziness. Proper cervical, paravertebral and epidural blocks correct these symptoms.
