Anyway, I guess I would mainly gear this question toward women with RSD in the legs. How do you cope with the clothing issue? Also, what about shaving your legs? I already have a difficult time shaving because my left hand (the original source of RSD) doesn't really work well, which makes it hard to reach certain areas. Because of that, I don't shave my legs as often as I used to, so I don't wear dresses much cuz I can't put on pantyhose. I DO NOT want to ever have a nerve block or any type of shot or whatever. I'm on meds for narcolepsy and cataplexy, so I have to be careful what I take or use. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

OK im a dude but .. ok as far as panty hose.. don't worry about it just don't wear panty hose. sounds easy I know but Ive noticed that women have the tendency to wear tortuous items of clothing and such in order to look better so they can feel better about themselves. I say nature is better any way. as far a leg hair well I don't know how log you've had RSD but I know I lost the hair on my legs because of it.. maybe the same will happen for you, other wise I suggest always use fresh sharp blades and choose a really goos lather or cream to guard you from razor burn.. gillette gell is pretty good but how about vaseline intensive care or cera va its a good cream. . good luck
