I know that indirectly, the inflammation can weaken the heart and cause heart attacks, and also bring on strokes. Has anyone on this board heard of someone dying from RSD (besides suicide)?
It would not be listed as primary cause of death but depending on doctor, they would list it as secondary or third. Example if it was an heart attack, that was be listed as the main cause of death, then RSD would be the secondary cause an again it depends on the doctor. As you know with RSD some doctors don't even want to bring the word from there lips. I hope this helps.
