Dear Sandy,
So sorry that Lindsay is having another symptom - I had some terrible itchy rashes earlier on in my RSD - mostly on my back. Some of my shirts are stained with dots of blood from where I scratched myself raw because of the itch. I found that the pasta grabber was the most effective tool for that!!
I remember some of my worst rashes appeared after a few of my blocks. But others were just random. And I'm sure it was the RSD, because I had never had had problems with them before and I was 47 or 48 years old at the time.
The rashes didn't last very long, I only had them off and on for about 4-6 months and then they just stopped. Hopefully Lindsay's rashes will do the same. Really hot showers helped reduce the itch somewhat. You could also try warm oatmeal baths.
Good luck to you -- Sandy

Also, she had bloodwork the other day and actually passed out. She has never done this before, is usually fascinated with the blood draw. She wants to be a doctor so this stuff doesn't bother her. I have read about the autonomic nervous system going haywire sometimes. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I have you all in my thoughts and prayers.
