Hi there.

Yes, I think that adrenals play a major role in my RSD, specifically in that much of my pain and cramping is "diurnal" which is to say that it fluctuates regularly with the time of day, peaking in the early arternoon, which is when - in my lay understanding - the body's production of various adrenal products, including cortisol ["the major adrenal glucocorticoid, stimulates conversion of proteins to carbohydrates, raises blood sugar levels and promotes glycogen storage in the liver"] is at it's peak.

In fact, it's precisely because of this fluctuation that asthma sufferers have their greatest relief. A natural shot of adrenalin if you will. For me, I think that nature's little adrenalin shot just promotes vasal constriction, which is the bane of all persons with RSD.

Anybody with me on this one?

Mike
