Dear Jo;
I am very sorry for your recent dx. I too have recently been dx'd w/ this condition but the exact cause hasn't been determined yet. I pray your case isn't as severe as mine, as I suffer almost all the symptoms system wide. I suspect mine was caused by several surgeries, procedures & meds involved w/ my spine or neurotoxicity. Of course several other causes could be the reason & I have an appt at the Mayo Clinic in January. I have suffered from RSD in both legs since 2001 but this pain has engulfed that pain that has disabled me since that time. My narcotic pain meds do nothing to relieve the dysthetic burning or other pains. Good luck to you.
