is really the norm for RSD. But I read only 13% of us have HOT RSD. I have to be one of them and live in the South. The waves of pain you spoke of Karen and Mark is what I have from my knee to my feet. You are the first that decribed it for how it feels, thanks. These waves of pain always start at night when I go to bed and sleep on my back. I also have waves of heat coming from my back. My husband said he can feel the heat without touching my back. .how many more weeks until winter? Carose
