Hi. It's my understanding based on "people who know people" in LA that she in fact has RSD. That said, because her doctor is a prominent rheumatologist, I'm
guessing she keeps in in check with an anti-TNF[alpha] drug like
Remicade (Infliximab), which has a black box warning that's way too scary for me. Check it out at
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/d...s/a604023.html (For a while, I saw a rheumatologist who suggested that I consider Remicade myself.)
And the other thing about Remicade is that it's a strickly off label use of a very expensive drug, so there's no possibilty of insurance coverage. Still, it ties in with the CRPS/autoimmunity abstract I posted a few minutes ago at the start of another thread.
