Yes, I saw that episode and was totally FLOORED!! I thought that was great to hear it being talked about. I was left wishing they had made the main patient's problem CRPS. Great episode though

I was diagnosed with several different criteria: skin color, temperature of hands were almost 2 degrees apart, and finally with positive bone density test. I was diagnosed in 1995, and was 3 months past the injury that brought on my RSD. I was lucky and my RSD is under control with meds. As much control as you can get with RSD at least.
