you do not have to have ALL the symptoms of RSD to have it.

I have been diagnosed with RSD by many docs, including at the Cleveland Clinic.

I do not have sensitivity to wind, or light touch. I can wear **most** clothing. But let someone pat me on the arm or hug me, and I am miserable. Especially if I don't see it coming - such as someone coming up behind me and touching me.

I also do not have the sensation of sunburn, or what I would call burning pain.

I am sensitive to cold though. I can't hold a cold soda in the hand on the affected side. If I get chilled, my pain skyrockets. I have many other symptoms of it - skin shiny and red, fast growing ridged nails, hair changes on affected limbs, swelling, joint stiffness (my shoulder has been mostly frozen for close to 3 years now) EXTREME pain, lots of muscle spasms, temperature changes, etc etc

This lack of sensitivity kept me from being diagnosed when RSD first hit my foot in 2001. Now, it's in my arm, shoulder etc. and I have gone to Dr.'s who knew more about RSD and recognized it as RSD.

They tell me I may develop the sensitivity at any time.

I am hoping you do not have RSD.
