Hey guys! Haven`t been on for a while but always thinking and praying for everyone who is suffering with this mean ol` RSD. I was reading a few posts and people were discussing rashes. I have RSD, right arm only so far,(very lucky because nerve blocks were started right away) but also told, no guarantee it won`t spread. Anyway the pain meds and not using my arm too much help lower the pain level. Recently I have a red area on the right side of my face from under the side of my nose down.(in and around the line that you get when you get older(hate that word!) on either side of the mouth. Hard for me to describe the road map of my face, yikes, but I hope you have an idea of what I am talking about. I thought it was dry skin but I am beginning to wonder if it`s something more. I have been using a couple of different medications, (over the counter) kind of like Neosporin, on that line but it won`t go away. It burns as I am sitting here. I have put a moisturizer on it today in case it`s just dry skin. It`s pretty red though. Anybody have an idea if this might be RSD related? If so, I can discuss it with my 7TH! doctor I am going to see Monday, Oct.20. I have been waiting 2 months to get in. I am sure this is not new to anybody here.(the wait and change of Dr.`s). Any help would be so appreciated! I just love having more "stuff" to worry about. Thanks and love to all of you! Try to smile at least once today knowing we are here for eachother.
God Bless,
Franny
