Hi, ballerina and keep smilin:

Ballerina, the only doctor who is willing to take care of my RSD in the little island where I live is my primary care physician. He is wonderful but he does not know that much about RSD, so he does not know what is going on.

Quote: "RSD/CRPS is considered internal, full body when organs within our bodies are now pain involved..." At first, I was disappointed and angry to learn I have generalized internal RSD with involvement of my lungs and gastro-intestinal tract but, on the other hand, I prefer to know the truth than to be lied to.

What about the brain? Since it is involved (I feel electrical discharges in the brain), can I add the brain to the list of internal organs involved or is the brain not considered an internal organ, even though it is inside the body?

What about the blood vessels? Because they are involved (I feel icy cold and insects running through them), can I also add the blood vessels to the list of internal organs involved or are these blood vessels not considered an internal organ, even though they are inside the body?

Quote: "The reason our chest, lungs hurt is due to the sympatheic nerve and it's pathway it takes inside our bodies to our messaging part of our brain.. A big circuit system which has a big short circuit flaw..Funny but we most likely are not having pain within our lungs but it's the area the nerve is sending the message wrongly to our brain... Now my tummy is burning also so the same thought process is in action too... " Thanks for providing this explanation. I wish I had a doctor like Dr. Schwartzman on hand so I can find the perfect treatment for my RSD.

Keep smilin, if it is okay to ask you, what does your doctor give you to control the problems of cold you have with your lungs?

Thanks again for the information.
