Heart Richard...

Hey Richard,
My name is Heather and I have full-body RSD with chest, neck, and facial RSD. My chest, neck and face flare up everyday sometimes 6 X a day. (I attached a pic for you so that you can see.)

Ali, I can relate to you on the itching. Mine starts off getting very hot with hot flashes and electrical joltsand I feel that bad sunburn that itches real bad, but you just can't scratch it.

I was diagnosed with RSD in Aug 06 and Full-Body in Feb 07...I have had over 100 lumbar and cervical epidurals. I am having twice a week. Those and meds are the only things giving me ANY type of pain relief.

I am awaiting Lidocaine Infusion Therapy with my PM in a couple months. Till then, I am getting by with this. The facial RSD is very hard to deal with. If you have any more questions, please ask.

Thanks and hope you feel better...
Heather
