Kitty,
Luckily for me after my first encounter with not being able to do stairs WC put in a stair lift for me because the only way out of my house is going down stairs. They have also provided me with a wheelchair.
My RSD started in my left wrist and forearm after a surgery. I also have degenerative cerebral atrophy which compounds the problem. The RSD spread up my arm, shoulder, neck and face. Then my left leg became very weak with burning pins and a falling asleep sort of feeling but with pain. The RSD effects my central nervous system which runs along the spine at the cerebral area of the brain. Now I'm getting more frequently uncontrollable convulsion shakes which started after my accident...
