Accepted Answer

See below: The symptoms and signs include acute facial nerve paralysis, pain in the ear, taste loss in the front two-thirds of the tongue, dry mouth and eyes, and eruption of a erythematous vesicular rash in the ear canal, the tongue, and/or hard palate.Since the vestibulocochlear nerve is in proximity to the geniculate ganglion, patients may also suffer from tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

See below: Rsd is a chronic pain condition that is believed to be the result of dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems. Rsd involves irritation and abnormal excitation of nervous tissue, leading to abnormal impulses along nerves that affect blood vessels and skin.

Question 3

what pain medication can be taken for r.s.d.?

Accepted Answer

Ask for help: You need to be referred to a pain management specialist for this. There is no one medication or treatment for everyone.

Question 4

can there be long term symptoms of rmsf after 2 yr?

Accepted Answer

Yes if untreated: Typically, the critter causing RMSF is readily killed by Doxycyline if started within the first 5 days of infection.  If treatment is delayed, RMSF can be severe and bring a myriad of small vessel vasculitis-related problems.  Due to the rarity of this illness (about 2,000 cases per year in the country), there is not enough known.  Individualized care is best.  Infectious disease or internist.

Question 5

what is rmssd in simple
terms and what is meant by threshold
normal values?what are the normal values ?is over ,
she >0.76  rmssd 0.13 significant?

Accepted Answer

It's not that simple: The Root Mean Square of the Successive Differences (RMSSD) is a time domain used by electrophysiologists to asses heart rate variability.
Normal values depend upon the study and time duration involved and the standard deviation f the test. These numbers need to be assessed in context, preferably by a cardiologist familiar with your condition.

Question 6

what is rsd?

Accepted Answer

A complex condition: A chronic pain condition that is believed to be the result of dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous systems and abnormal excitation of nervous tissue, leading to abnormal impulses along nerves that affect blood vessels and skin. This can be acquired after minor trauma or surgery. It can be treated my a pain specialist, the sooner the better.

Question 7

what is reccomended for rsd?

Accepted Answer

Therapy: For rsd or crps it is important to go through desensitization  therapy where the therapists uses various touch modalities to teach your sensory system to feel normal again.  Sympathetic blocks help better earlier in the disease process.  Medications like membrane stabilizers (gabapentin) and some antidepressants may help.  Spinal cord stimulation may help as a last resort.  I hope you get better.

Question 8

do you get rsd from an injury?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Rsd can occur after a previous traumatic injury in predisposed people.  For example, the patient may have sustained a previous fracture or sprain that seems as though it never heals.  On closer examination, the pain from the initial injury has improved but another has taken its place-namely rsd.

Question 9

what could cause rsd type symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Rsd, now called complex regional pain syndrome (crps), can be caused by minor trauma (one of my patients was opening a box when he developed crps in his hand), fracture, other major trauma, brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, surgery, nerve compression and inadvertent needle placement injuring a nerve. It can be treated conservatively. See your doctor for referral to a good pain specialist.

Question 10

any new solutions to controlling rsd?

Accepted Answer

Several possiblities: Rsd is a complex disorder which is really poorly understood. As a pain doctor, i've seen quite a few rsd patients. Some respond to meds, some to osteopathic manipulation. Quite a few respond to topical or ingested medical marijuana. If legal in your state, it could prove quite helpful to try. Consult an osteopathic doc for a hands-on diagnosis to see if manipulation could be part of your treatment.
