[QUOTE=screwballpookie;519392]I have a couple of questions after reading everyones posts. First what does rsd do to your eyes? Does it blur you vision, make your eyes hurt, make allergies diagnosed long before I was diagnosed with rsd? When you have tightening in your chest is the pain there all the time or can it come and go? As far as the bladder part, do you get bladder infection more often? I have never had bladder infection until here just recently so I was just wondering. Also the pain in the lower abdomen what might that be? I was told a few years ago that I had cysts on my ovaries and did they ever hurt like the dickens, but I hadn't had any real trouble ever since then,but I am getting major pain in the lower abdomen where the female organs are located and boy when it hits I can't hardly breathe it hurts so bad. Is there a possibility that rsd is causing some problems with my cysts or what else could it be?
Thank you for taking the time to read my questions and hopefully you can help me.

On the eye condition. My rsd started in my leg and anyhow a year later I developed a severe eye condition where I was breaking out in sores inside and out,severe dry eye,developed pain behind my eye/migraines,extreme floaters. Was in crying pain from this. I went to 11 eye specialists,40 plus eye apts in 1 year,neuro for mris,allergist,rheumo etc etc. Saw a couple specialist who deal with rsd one many here have heard of Dr Stanton Hicks. The reason is the eye condition did not get better with all the eye meds,orals,etc and the pain did not go with what my dx of dry eye and bleph. Anyhow I was told and even by my current pain doc that the eyes are not effected by rsd and it is in the limbs. Now how this can be when like others stated here that they have full body including organs and I know a gentleman the rsd started in his eyes I do not know. I guess for me what ever you want to call it I hope that what the treatment is for the rsd will help with my eyes. I hope I made sense.
I can also relate to that my gramps who is 86 is healthier then me and more active. I am 30. I used to be sick with a flu prior to my rsd I would say every month with a fever for at least 2 years. I would be better for a few weeks and then again hit with the flu. I don't have that now but I do get so many infections like ears,eye,skin. Again told a fluke. Like how? One thing if older not when young. Ok many thoughts as my rant is over
