I have some of the symptoms mentioned on the website you posted. Are they any tests carried out to diagnose the RSD/CRPS? Is the condition reversible? How is it treated?

windhunter I suspect you where given a dose of one of these fluoroquinolone antibiotics, read this post on reddit and follow the subreddit it might help you.

Thank for your contribution. I read the post but couldn't figure out what actually helped him to recover. He experimented with different drugs. Some which are pricey and some of them yielded positive results. He also seems to have substantial knowledge of the medical field. It is not easy to read and digest some articles written by medical experts if you are not in the medical field.

Recently I was sick and went to the hospital. I knew my problem required antibiotics so I went to the hospital with a pack of ofloxacin that has a black box warning on it that says fluoroquinolones administered orally can cause peripheral neuropathy. I showed the black box warning to the doctor but he didn't want to look at it properly. I told him I am suffering from chronic neuropathic pain and also told him what caused it. After all the talking he prescribed levofloxacin which is a fluoroquinolone known to cause neuropathy, tendon rupture and many other health complications. When I figured out the type of antibiotic he prescribed for me I didn't go back to tell him about it. I went else where.

I stumbled upon your thread. I hope you are well now.

Fibromyalgia in a nutshell for people that don't understand it ...

1. My pain - My pain is not your pain. It is not caused by inflammation. Taking your arthritis medication will not help me. I can not work my pain out or shake it off. It is not even a pain that stays put. Today it is in my shoulder, but tomorrow it may be in my foot or gone. My pain is believed to be caused by improper signals sent to the brain, possibly due to sleep disorders. It is not well understood, but it is real.

2. My fatigue - I am not merely tired. I am often in a severe state of exhaustion. I may want to participate in physical activities, but I can't. Please do not take this personally. If you saw me shopping yesterday, but I can't help you with house/garden work today, it isn't because I don't want to. I am, most likely, paying the price for stressing my muscles beyond their capability.

3. My forgetfulness - Those of us who suffer from it call it fibrofog. I may not remember your name, but I do remember you. I may not remember what I promised to do for you, even though you told me just seconds ago. My problem has nothing to do with my age but may be related to sleep deprivation. I do not have a selective memory. On some days, I just don't have any short-term memory at all.

4. My clumsiness - If I step on your toes or run into you five times in a crowd, I am not purposely targeting you. I do not have the muscle control for that. If you are behind me on the stairs, please be patient. These days, I take life and stairwells one step at a time.

5. My sensitivities - I just can't stand it! "It" could be any number of things: bright sunlight, loud or high-pitched noises, odors. FMS has been called the "aggravating everything disorder." So don't make me open the curtains or listen to your child scream. I really can't stand it.

6. My intolerance - I can't stand heat, either. Or humidity. If I am a man, I sweat...profusely. If I am a lady, I perspire. Both are equally embarrassing, so please don't feel compelled to point this shortcoming out to me. I know. And don't be surprised if I shake uncontrollably when it's cold. I don't tolerate cold, either. My internal thermostat is broken, and nobody knows how to fix it.

7. My depression - Yes, there are days when I would rather stay in bed or in the house. Severe, unrelenting pain can cause depression. Your sincere concern and understanding can pull me back from the brink. Your snide remarks can tip me over the edge.

8. My stress - My body does not handle stress well. If I have to give up my job, work part time, or handle my responsibilities from home, I'm not lazy. Everyday stresses make my symptoms worse and can incapacitate me completely.

9. My weight - I may be fat or I may be skinny. Either way, it is not by choice. My body is not your body. My appestat is broken, and nobody can tell me how to fix it.

10. My good days - If you see me smiling and functioning normally, don't assume I am well. I suffer from a chronic pain and fatigue illness with no cure. I can have my good days or weeks or even months. In fact, the good days are what keep me going.

11. My uniqueness - Even those who suffer from FMS are not alike. That means I may not have all of the problems mentioned above. I do have pain above and below the waist and on both sides of my body which has lasted for a very long time. I may have migraines or hip pain or shoulder pain or knee pain, but I do not have exactly the same pain as anyone else.
