Default Weather & Temperature Changes vs. RSD

Hello,

I was curious if anyone else out there is greatly affected by the weather(rain, snow, humidity, excessive heat or cold changes) or when the temperature changes like a roller coaster, or when the seasons change and transition? I live on the east coast and with how unpredictable the weather is, as well as so up and down in temperature changes it leaves me in ridiculous amounts of excruciating pain, constant swelling, my body temperature is ice cold one minute and sweating bullets the next and even more heightened sensitivity. Not to mention it completely aggrivates the RSD which then ignites the symptoms further. I've been having major bouts of nausea, which I know is directly from the pain, but I'm noticing that its taking longer and longer to pass. Is anyone else experiencing this or anything similar? Is it just that the RSD is confused with the changes so it just misfires and goes into mass overdrive or panic? Sorry I try my best to envision certain things to try and understand this disease better and how it operates. So my Doctor and I usually compare the RSD to things that I can relate to, to explain it better in laymans terms then tons of medical words that I can't remember or pronounce.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this. Any feedback would be very helpful and much appreciated.
