Hi Karen,
Nail changes and hair changes are common with rsd. One of the "lovely" things about it. After six years I am finding soooo many changes within my body. I had premature wrinkling of my skin esp on my hands/arms/legs after ketamine this past year. And now I see it on my face too! The ketamine seems to have drained my body of all liquid and vitamins. Strange. I would not do that treatment again. It was brutal. I see a thickness in the nails in my right foot (initial trauma). I have had alot of hair fall out of my hair in clumps esp in the beginning. Now, the front of my head is thinning badly. I went to a dermatologist a few years ago and did a biopsy and he said it was from stress on the hair follicles. I have hardly any hair on my legs (Shaving hurts too bad anyway). I just noticed today that the entire back of my legs (and most of the front) have no hair at all and it is really thin on my shins.The dermatologist had me use Rogain for my hair and then said to put it on my legs to grow hair back. Duh. What woman would want to do that? That is probably the only good thing about having rsd haha.

My vision has become blurry too. I used to have 20/20 vision until rsd. I just got a pair of reading glasses last year and I think my eyes have changed for the worst again. Amazing. Well, good luck and take it one day at a time. I think most of the changes are gradual and happen over years. Hang in there.
