Hi DD
... and welcome. Sorry you have to be here,

But glad you found us.
We both developed RSD 2002. For me it will be 5 yrs next month.
You were slow in being answered because it is the weekend.
It will pick up tomorrow afternoon.
I get a lot of my answers from
www.rsdhope.org or
www.rsds.org
http://rsds.org/pdf/Recog_Undrstd_TreatRSD_530.pdf -
on the second page 1/2 way down there is info about a woman who the doctors said was
exaggerating her symptoms in order to get attention.
Depression does not cause RSD:

This is just a start. More people will come a long and answer you.
If your response gets too low on the page...just go into the thread, hit reply & write "Bump" in
the message area and hit enter. Your thread will bump to the top o f the page. Take care and be patient- others will be a long soon.
Hope
