Mel we live around the same area, so I feel the pain with the weather! Its horrible! Over the past 5yrs im finding that no weather is good. If I go outside in the summer and the sun hits me, its like a thousand razor blades hitting my skin! And I immedetly start to sun burn litterly withn minutes! And between going from outside in the hot weather, to an indoor building with cold air conditioning, its just AWFUL! I have autonomic issue controling my body temp caused by the RSD. So going into diffrent changes of heat/cold or warmth/cooler it just completly throws my body off. We get wicked hot summers, and the issue with our location is that we deal with the humidity, and the humidity is what makes it the worse.

Our weather here on the East Coast has been going up and down - it's been the weirdest spring ever and I just came through 2 miserable weeks I'm sure because of it. My RSD solidly settled into my right foot from my left - was creeping that way - 3 toes turning purple. Now it's swelling past the ankle and feels cold to touch up to the knee. My left has been a lovely shade of frozen purple for 5 months now. Will the heat of summer outside feel better? I was kind of hoping.
