From Breezy55: Pete, first of all I wanted to tell you that when I was dx with RSD and for the first 3 years of taking a shower it did hurt! I also had a tech,working with me. When I came out of the shower I would be yelling in pain! My skin was blue and white. The tech called this blancing? As far as this going on as soon as I was put on Topamax and my dosage went up,this pain went down. Also there is some kind of deoderent that is always on t.v. That you can get at the drug store,or by your Dr. I also agree with the others on this there are things like hormone issues,etc. Well that is all for now on this one. Hang in there! You will over come!
