I also get the nail changes which Pete mentioned, rapid growth for a few weeks, then nothing. I don't mind that so much, I've always had short nails so it's nice to have them long for a change. Unfortunately, it's only on my RSD hand so I look a bit odd.
Hope you're ok, I'm sorry that doesn't help much. Take care.  |
Hi Sarah and Welcome-the sweating goes with RSD because it's an autonomic disorder. Our sympathetic nervous system controls body temperature, circulation and and the immune system. So I try to build my immune system up with eating healthy foods. Exercise, stretching to keep the circulation going. Swimming is one of the best-water needs to be 86 degrees. I live in Arizona, which gets to 110 and higher in the summer. That's a huge challenge, but the winters are mild and that's a blessing. We have company 2-3 times a year in the winter of friends wanting abreak from cold, rain, snow country, and I'm going to try and take a break or two from our outrageous hot summers and visit Oregon Coast and Washington State. We love our friends visiting and enjoy going back'home' during the summer here.
Again, welcome to this wonderful group of friends. Hope you find comfort and knowledge here like I did. It's been 15 years for me and full body. Take care and please stay with us. Your friend, loretta with soft hugs
