Renee I too think RSD attacks everything in the body. I am pretty sure it is causing my teeth to go bad as well, and the blood pressure to get real high. Just a slew of troubles since getting the darn RSD.

Before RSD I was into keeping fit, and worked with weights 4 days a week. That actually worked against me when going before the Social Security judge. Took one look at me and denied me. Luckily a few years later in front of a different judge I didnt look so fit lol.

The stones are a nuisance, but the pain of RSD makes the stone pain annoying instead of rolling me up into a whimpering little ball as it does others that have only the stones to deal with. So I guess there is a plus on the side of RSD if you would call it that
