I am gluten intolerant and I also have been diagnosed with RSD or Complex regional Pain Syndrome as it is now called. However a lot of RSD symptoms are similar to PN. The point I am making is that gluten issues often go hand in hand with neurological syndromes.

Although a lot of my pain issues have resolved some other symptoms are still around. Things like painful twinges, cramps, cold hands, tingling and colour differences still occur.

Keep on until you are either correctly diagnosed or you are satisfied that everything possible has been done. Regardless of all the outcomes I urge you to consider adopting a gluten free diet AFTER you see your specialists.
