Hi all

Hope everyone is doing as ok as they can be. Someone just sent me this article. I found it interesting. I have mixed thoughts as I have often thought RSD might be an autoimmune disorder, among other things BUT.....

My RSD occurs immediately after surgery, I mean immediately as far as I can tell. Within 24/48 hrs. Also, RSD has never occurred for me after a fall, and I have had many many of them, or a general injury etc. Only surgical intervention or, one time, a flair from an injection.

So, the question is: if you take an autoimmune approach, why would surgery, cutting, invasion bring this out, but other things don't? Many of us get or got RSD from surgery. Do you think the body just can't handle any intrusion? Is it the weakened system they are assuming is the cause? In that case, why wouldn't a fall, or a bad cold, or pneumonia for example have some effect and cause RSD? I am only talking about people who get RSD from surgery and no other cause that they know of.....

Curious as to other people's thoughts. AND for the 1st time in my life, I feel really badly for mice, rather than just being afraid of them...(see article). I hate to think of anything (mice or other) being injected with things that cause RSD like symptoms. Sad. It's for science, and us, medicine, I know but it makes me sad. LOL
