Thanks Bram. The coldness I get is usually frequent or when I use my rsd hand or other parts too much so I guess that's the rsd. I do remember my pm dr years ago when I was first diagnosed with rsd saying that I would probably experience temp changes in my body and he always checked my hands to see if that was true. He said that he did notice that my rsd hand was colder than my left hand and more red or purple in color. I had forgotten about that. It just seems like the coldness is spreading and getting worse with my rsd hand (usually when I'm typing with it too much. My pm dr said it was good exercise to type a little to keep my fingers moving, but I think I'm overdoing it because my rsd hand is like ice and crampy after I type. I wish I had money to look into that dragon non typing computer. As for the numbness and pins and needles in the morning, I don't get that all the time, just sometimes like once a week. Thanks for your input on this too. Anyway thanks for your advice and comforting words. I'll try not to worry as much. I've always been a worry wort before having rsd, but since then it's been much worse. But I will try not to let it get to me as much. Stress doesn't help the pain. I just wish I had more control over my body. I do want to only see drs when really necessary or I would be going everyday! I know that after two years there is not much they can do with rsd (thats what my pm dr told me).I try to enjoy the good days as much as I can , because I know that a flare could always be just around the corner like last night. Thanks Bram for your caring and good advice. You are so smart. I always enjoy reading your comments. I hope I can help you too sometime. I know I've been indecisive in the past, but it's just because I react differently to things when I'm in pain as compared to when I'm not. I don't mean to sound like a nut like in my FEAR Thread. and I'm sorry if I did. I hope I can help all of you as much as you've helped me. Thanks again for caring. So far my feet are okay tonight (just a little burning on the top of them but not like yesterday)so I'm hoping I'll get a break tonight. I hope you all have a good night too and thanks to ALL of you for your support, great advice and constant compassion. You are all so knowledgeable and I've learned alot from your comments. I could NOT get through this rsd pain without you. From your forever friend, RSD RENEE.
