AND FINALLY! Here is a study about how RSD makes your vision worse. I hope you feel validated! Share this with your doc so he can feel ahead of the curve - and stop ordering unnecessary tests. Roll it up first and b**ch-slap the nurse. xoxoxo
Pathologic pain distorts visuospatial perception Spatial perception is achieved by integrating multisensory information. Using visual subjective body midline (vSM) judgments in patients with unilateral limb pain (complex regional pain syndrome [CRPS]), we found that their vSM deviated toward the affected side; however, deafferentation of the affected limb caused a transient pain decrease and a transient shift of the vSM deviation toward the unaffected side. Our results indicate that the persistent pain state in CRPS distorts visuospatial perception. .Sumitani,M.; Shibata,M.; Iwakura,T. et al. Neurology.68(2):152-4,2007 Jan 9
