I get the icy cold thing but for me it's more a distraction than a problem. It just feels like liquid nitrogen in a section of my arm for a while but there's no real pain and very little discomfort. I just ignore it.
I find the creepy crawlies to be far worse. It just fels like a large insect crawling on the region between the RSD and the non-RSD (mostly on the torso). This isn't painful either but it's much more uncomfortable. Again, I try to ignore it.
As a rule I just try to ignore all of it from the burning pain to the screaming paranoia. It can be difficult but I find talking to people or thinking about something else usually will work. The fear wants to take over sometimes. There are just so many symptoms and it seems there's a new one almost every day. I'm afraid a new symptom might not be so manageable or that a few symptoms might hit me at once.
I do try to look at the bright side of things but I guess today is one of those when it's more difficult.
