Roz, I am sorry - - that does not seem like a pleasant symptom
- so far knock wood for me - I have not experienced it.
and same to the rest of you that suffer with this symptom - I hope it is not too painful - the rest of them are bad enough !!! .
If you follow the CNN links of the coma treatment or you go to the
www.rsdfoundation.org site
I believe under the symptoms description for RSD you will find pictures of various RSD presentations.Now these things MAY happen to you .They don't have to happen to everyone with RSD !!!!!
You might find your particular symptom there Roz .They show 4 or 5 different external manifestations of the disease .
Bear in mind that all these pictures are worst case scenario pictures -not how all will become with RSD - That is why they took the pictures - as they make a good picture
A pink shiny hand may hurt like H*ll but it is not as good television so to speak as an oozing wound, so please don't let this site scare you
It serves a purpose.( I was a little freaked the first time I looked at the site early in my disease process but I have not gone to many of those places ).
On another note RSDers , remember NO ICE!!!!!
I think most of you as a general rule would be best to follow this guideline and are probably aware of it- unless you are told or know otherwise. It is one of the most effective ways to spread your RSD.
I hope some of this information is of use to you
Peace
