Bobber,

I just wanted to thank you for sharing and also let you know that I really relate to the having my active life style disrupted. I used to be very active with sports, hiking, water sports, rock climbing, skiing, bike riding, and horseback riding all before the RSD and now on a good day my physical stamina is only 25% of what it used to be. I still work on my muscles but I have to do low impact and a specialized exercise program and the limited exercises are not nearly the fun of what I use to do exercise. If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you? I'm 27 so for me personally, accepting my physical limitations has been one of the hardest challenges with the RSD. In fact, as far as the limitation acceptance I still find myself going through a constant roller coaster of emotions, like one week I will go into denial again and overdo it and then because of over doing it I get really sore and then I get angry. Like I said this has been one of the hardest parts for me.
As for the sweating issue that I have experienced, I get it all around my hair line but at night it’s like a full body sweat. I also go on and off my pain meds because of the tolerance issue and during this past month I adjusted the meds to see if it would make a difference and none.
Something that you brought up that I found really interesting was the part of the sweats signifying a flare. I will definitely keep a running track to see if that happens with me but really not sure at this point because the episodes just seem so random.
