Hi Richard,

It's good to hear from you. I also have noticed that my chest and neck area goes red at times. It's sort of like a rash and it comes and goes, it can be pretty itchy at times also. I have RSD in my right arm and left leg so i'm not sure if the RSD is causing it or what. I also go really red on my RSD areas and if you press down hard enough, it goes white. My PM did this test before I was diagnosed with RSD where he pressed down on an area on my RSD limb that was red (ouch!) and if it went white, he then timed how long it took to go back to being red. I think it took about 30 seconds to a minute which indicated that it was very possible that I had RSD somehow.

If you are concerned about it, I would mention it to your doctor but from what I have heard it is pretty common in RSD'ers. I wish I had some more advice for you.

Am keeping you in my thoughts.
Alison
