Marleen,

You comment reminds me of a basic "riddle" from a logic class:

A) It is raining
B) The street is wet
C) The street is wet, so it must be raining - right?

Well, of course not, there could be other reasons why the street is wet. If we assume that RSD sufferers develop migraines at a higher rate, it does not necessarily work the other way around.

I have thought that one 'trigger' for a migraine might be the stress of the extreme RSD pain. It sometimes seems that when my leg is really throbbing, that is when my headaches creep in. However, I can have a headache and not be having a flare-up of my leg.

I have seen no research to support this. This is only the opinion of a 20+ year sufferer.
