As I stated... "I had a doctor tell me that alcohol swipe test was a definitive test (in his opinion) to determine if someone truly has RSD or not."
This doctor is a very well respected specialist--Physiatrist. I didn't question why he had said this but he did.... more than once... Apparently got the reaction he was looking for... he said I reacted exactly as he expected for someone with RSD. He actually did this test each time I was in his office for the several visits...guess he was just making sure that I wasn't faking. Often time would have me looking at something else and drop alcohol on me. He got the same reaction each time.
I've been to numerous doctors---specialists knowledgable in RSD... they've all done this test on me with the same reaction from me.
My guess... and my guess only... there must be something to using the alcohol test to determine RSD or they wouldn't be doing it.
