hi there

I went through a period of time experiencing this - some of my fingers would be boiling hot, the rest would be freezing cold and usually purple. I used to use my hot fingers to try and warm up my cold fingers. At the same time I met all the requirements for RSD (complex pain syndrome) including an increased rate of bone turn over in my bone scan, but who knows. It lasted about six months, and was during the period of time when I was having very extreme pain (I have always said that on a scale of 1 - 10 the pain was a 22).

But, eventually it just stopped. I have sensory motor axonal neuropathy. These days my motor symptoms predominate, and my sensory symptoms are numbness. My major problems are loosing motor function.
