Hi gail... i too have rsd in my right hand and am a new member here. just was reading this post and going yes yes yes to all the info that applies to me such as the nausea. It is more at night and i never ever had nausea like it even when i was pregnant lol. i beleive it is a response to the pain levels It is very reassuring to see that so many others with rsd have this symptom also. it has been so frustrating not having the use of my right hand. definitely not reliable anyhow lol. If i try to hold fork or knife , i mostly wind up dropping them quickly.lose my grip easily. i can not come anywhere's close to being able to make a fist lol. i think the darn stiffness even limits me moreso than the pain ! do you find it really limits yur life too ??? I am trying to overcome it or at least do the best i can so i might get remission. sure is nice to send a message to someone going through the same issues who can understand me lol. maybe we can chat sometime??
