Draggonangel....

As hard as it may be.... and it was a nightmare for me!!!! My physical therapist saidnthe best thing I could do to help desensitize myself to my clothing touching me was to keep wearing the same clothes I would normally wear. For me, this worked. I'm not saying this doesn't hurt because it still does but I believe less than it would had I given in and wore less clothing or stayed in bed.

As for telling the difference between RSD & Fibro.... for me fibro makes me feel bruised all over. While RSD burns with the softest of touch, my bones feel as if they are going to explode, I cannot stand temperatures below 72° fairenheit or above 77° fairenheit. Between these temps is my comfort zone.

Hopefully there will be others who will come along who have both RSD & Fibro who came explain the differences in their symptoms.

I know it's confusing and frustrating.... but please know RSD & Fibro are 2 different "conditions" but are often treated with the same medicines.

I wish you the best...
