Lucky for me though, I rarely get sick. I have heard the same about the pregnancy and I hope that to be true. Interesting how our bodies all work so differently. Thanks for sharing

Hi Jeanie,
That is so interesting that you mention that. Actually when I first got RSD back when I was 19, I had the same reaction you do now. My RSD would get worse when I was sick. Then I went into remission and I injured myself again a couple years ago and the RSD came back. Now when I get sick the exact opposite happens. I just got over a cold 3 weeks ago and my RSD flared up really bad. Now I'm sick again with another cold and my RSD symptoms are back down. I'm just worried about what is going to happen when the cold goes away. I don't think I can handle another 3 week flare up.
