Hello, Robertsgirl, welcome to NT! I am awful sorry you have to be here, though.
Try not to drive yourself too crazy over the "is it a symptom of my disease?" syndrome. That's easier said than done, of course! Most of us do it... but thankfully, NT is here to help. I use the rsd/crps forum to figure out what sx (symptom) I can blame on which disease (rsd versus aids versus epilepsy, lol).
It is greatly helpful to me... and to my dr. Debra is not an rsd expert, her specialty is aids. So she uses all the info I bring her to do her own research into rsd/crps. That way we both learn together, and that's a great comfort to me.
So keep learning all you can, and give that info to your dr. If he/she is not receptive to YOU doing research on your own, find a new one!! Any dr. that feels threatened by a patient who wants to "know it all" too, is NOT one you want treating you.
