I have noticed that I have alot more allergic reactions then before I had Rsd. Another strange thing that happened is I developed a severe red rash on my left arm where my Rsd had recently spread too. The rash got so hot and red it started peeling off by itself and then it turned into small little bubbles all over my arm. The dermatologist said I had an infection and would not tie the rash to Rsd. She kept saying it was contact dermatitis. Of course, I am no dr, however, I know that the onset of the rash brought a terrible flare and now that the rash is gone, I have disoloration that comes and goes like my Rsd leg discoloration. So, not sure about the rash, however, my pain dr thinks it is all related, either as a skin allergic reaction or just as an Rsd rash. I also have an SCS for my lower left leg, it helps but its not the cure the trial was.
