RSD and keto

(Tammy Bowers Rogers) #1

Anyone here have RSD? I have a friends who is living with RSD and I’m curios what the benefits are with keto.

Thank you in advance,

No idea. But I work with patients with RSD tome to time. It typically to my knowledge doesn’t have a metabolic factor associated with it. Some cases are associated with myelin changes surrounding the peripheral nerves but its not progressively degenerative so associating emerging evidence of keto for adjunctive treatment for degenerative nervous system processes likely isn’t applicable. No one really knows the true etiology for RSD so I don’t think there is a definitive answer for you. Keep us posted thiugh.

Thank you for replying, I’m wondering of it will help with the swelling she will get in her left lower extremity and the brain fog (that of course could be her diet or meds). I guess we can watch and see!!!

Good for you! I graduated from Toledo in Columbus now. I work in neuro outpatient… Which is why I’m keto basically. Saw first hand all the complications from DM2 in regards to stroke, kidney damage, heart disease ECT. Half my stroke patients are diabetic younger than 60. Scary stuff.
