Just found your post. I developed RSD 25 years ago that had been under control for the last 15 years. I also have asthma and in the last 2 years have developed the autoimmune diseases Myasthenia gravis (MG), Hashimotos hypothyroidism and eczema. Since my MG has gotten bad, my RSD pain has returned. I always thought there was an autoimmune link to the RSD. What are the statistical chances of someone having RSD and a rare autoimmune disease like MG?

I see that there are starting to treat RSD with IVIG with some success so it must have an autoimmune component. I am suppose to get IVIG in a few weeks for the MG. I hope it get the RSD under control too.
