When I'm going through a "crazies" the first thing I go running for is a cold wet towel. Might sound stupid, but while ice packs can cool down the area that hurts, I've found that you also need to dissipate the heat off hence the freezing drenched towel actually steams when I'm using them.
Living in the desert also makes a bit harder I think. When I lived out in souther CA and AZ, it was only by keeping the A/C down in the low 70's where I found much relief, but wow does it hurt the wallet. Living where there's perfect weather can have its drawbacks and with RSD heat is a chronic battle. Best of luck, Bob.

I live out in the CA desert (by Palm Springs) and the heat is coming, the weather is going from mild now to summer.
Just tonight the RSD flared up on my arms.
What do you all suggest to do (drugs, topicals) for RSD when it first flares out? Do any of you have any control over your RSD?
thanks.
