I have heard all about this as well. One of my PM drs tried to reassure me (and my family) that RSD doesn't last forever. When asked why, they said how many people do you know above 60 who have RSD (ok. I know several, but I know far more people in their 30s and 40s). But, whether this is due to the suicide factor, or whether the RSD is diagnosed as a neuropathy of some kind and thus never comes under the RSD umbrella. For instance, RSD can apparently begin after a stroke - but it is known as something like post stroke syndrome or something. So maybe it doesn't burn out - the Drs just call it something else!

Interesting....

PS - I know quite a few people who have burned out RSD and are now fine.
