Skin was hot first and cold later, which isn't true for everyone and I found most people have cold rsd and hot rsd is a minority. I'd have to dig up the stats on my survey again for the %'s.
Some people actually move more slowly or even faster through the stages but it's also possible to skip a stage. It also largely depends on treatments given and how you react to them. That's why RSD is so different for everyone.
