I can't tell if it's my stomach or intestines, but I swear I can FEEL those organs continually (which I don't think is normal), and if I take a painkiller, I don't notice those symptoms anymore. Also, my tastebuds seem to be destroyed, but return a little bit when I'm on pain medication as well. To anyone diagnosed with Full Body RSD, can you "feel" discomfort in your insides? I also noticed I'm having to work harder at breathing. My sister tells me that is from anxiety, but I don't feel anxious at all during the time period of those episodes.

Vanna, I'm sorry you are having these symptoms.I have had RSD for 15 years following surgery, and wasn't diagnosed for 4 years. About 6 years ago it went full body and internally, generalized. I have heat, burning internally in pelvic area. I haven't had any procedures like SCS, just spread. I'm going to see a gynecologist that has experience with RSD. I'm going to PM you some information on Internal RSD. I have read accounts that the implanting of the SCS can cause internal spread. I'm sorry if that is your case. I live in Phoenix and the summer here is miserable. the Sympathetic Nervous system controls body temperature, so that is pretty miserable in this climate. I'll look up some information and relay that to you. Your Az, friend, loretta with soft hugs
