Now this invisable disease is now visable and affecting my self concept!!  |
Ok I know I should know this as long as I've had RSD, but when you talk about sores and scars, are those part of your RSD or one of the other things you mentioned? The reason I ask is because I had a bunch of sores show up on my legs and arms a few months ago, then the burn, stiffness, and weakness hit those areas with a sudden rapid spread. Now sores will pop up all the time. Oh, on my face, too. I was so upset because I thought I had started "skin picking." But when I saw the backs of my legs in the mirror, there's no way I could have picked all those places and made those scars...I can't even reach half those spots. I mean, I know I would get random sores occasionally on my hand or wrist where the RSD started, but I guess I forgot that you could get sores with RSD.
