Does anyone know if RSD is an autoimmune disorder? I've read on one website that is was. I think it was the American Autoimmune Association.

I keep forgetting to ask my dr, so was just wondering if any of you might know.

Thanks.
I don't recall it being said that it is an autoimmune but, I do know that it is an Autonomic syndrome as it directly effects the entire nervous system and causes autonomic symptoms.

Autonomic definition:

Your autonomic nervous system is made up of nerves that control those “automatic” things you need to do to survive. A few of those necessary things include blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, and digestion of your food. Autonomic dysfunction or dysautonomia refers to problems with this autonomic nervous system.

I hope that helps, and I'm sorry you are having a stressful day.
