my pain level feels like I've taken nothing at all. Also, the pain is

also be appreciated. Homeopathic, 'old wives' remedy', *anything not

pain and sleep medications to DH just to be doubly sure I don't given in to

Topical or oral, it doesn't matter (though I'm already using Lidoderm
patches with no effect. Heat doesn't help and ice is totally out of the
question with RSD.

There is a herb that is very well known for releiving pain, relieving
nausea and stimulating appetite. Alas, I think its still illegal in
Texas. However, if you were to move to California, and had a doctor's
prescription for it, you could get it legally.

There may be legal pharmaceuticals that mimic its psycho-pharmacological
function, but you'll have to ask someone in the know over there.

Down here and around these parts, the cops generally don't give a hoot
if you have an amount small enough for 'personal use' and otherwise keep
out of trouble - its the ones who 'deal' and / or break other laws
whilst under the influence that they tend to worry about.
