Hi geronimo,
Welcome to the forum, I'm sorry that we meet under these circumstances. Initially I had hot rsd, then after the couple of months it turned to be ice cold and I could never be warm enough. I've had Rsd now for 8 years. This past winter my hormones went off balance due to perimenopause possibly menopause. Suddenly I have had extreme hot flashes (like every 15 minutes)and can't seem to be cool enough. My foot/leg now goes bright hot red compared to the old cold & purple. From one extreme to the other LOL. I'm working on the diet side things to try to get things back in balance but it takes a lot of patience. Hormone replacement has been good so far but for me it seems that the RSD throws off my hormones more than I initially understood. I try to be fully conscious of my daily choices and all that that entails. I don't know if that relates to where you are at in your life cycle but that's been my experience to date.
Warm or wishes.
MsL
