]]> Comment on Qutenza for Neuropathic Pain by Eric Saunders http://bellaireneurology.com/blog/?p=39#comment-435 Eric Saunders Sun, 10 Jul 2011 08:13:42 +0000 http://bellaireneurology.com/blog/?p=39#comment-435 Dr Loftus, I have had a very serious case of RSD/CRPS for the past 2.5 year and had several unsucessful treatments, including spinal cord stimulators, awake ketamine infusions, prialt pump, lumbar blocks, etc. Do you know if Qutenza has been used to treat RSD/CRPS? Could the pain from the Qutenza patch make the pain and swelling from the RSD/CRPS worse? Additional trauma to my body has made my condition worse in the past (e.g., more swelling, more pain, and spreading to other parts of the body), so I am greatly concerned that Qutenza may do the same. Dr Loftus,

My wife has been suffering from migraines for the past few years and I keep telling her to keep a diary of her headaches. Now that I know there's an app for that, she may be more apt to keep track of these on a regular basis. You keep mentioning primary and secondary heachaches . . . but I don't know what that means. What's the secondary type? Thanks! ~ George - Secondary headache means the headache is from a secondary cause like a brain tumor rather than a primary headache disease like migraine - BDL I’m glad I stumbled upon your blog.

I suffer from severe migraines and, in my case, I absolutely CANNOT stand looking at any warm hues when I have a migraine such as yellow, orange, and (especially) red. In fact, my room only has cool colors such as blues, greens, and greys (and some deep violets) because the warm colors make me naseaus and hurt my eyes everytime I get a migraine. Is there any reason or explanation as to WHY I am sensitive to warm hues contrary to the article's belief?
