Hi KS, I just need some help figuring this out. I do not understand the fullbody nor the internal organ involvement. How do they know that you have this? What does full body RSD feel like? I have celiac disease (blood test confirmed this) the exact same time I was diagnosed with Causalgia. I too have constant pain in the right side of my stomach below the rib and of course pain in both lower extremities and recently my hip and lower back have decided to join in on the party. But I am curious how they can diagnose the internal involvement? I mean that is quite scary if your organs can begin to shut down and they have nothing to back this.... is there a test or something, like a CT scan, something to show discrepencies in this area? This is beginning to sound more and more like the mother ship of Lupus! I am just concerned if anyone has any information on the internal involvement and... are doctors ready to treat this when it gets to this stage.
I stay on a strict gluten free diet and still have IBS and severe burning pain in my stomach. So any input would be greatly appreciated. I do not complain too much, I and the doctor just assume it is the celiac...but now that I think about it, I follow a strict diet...never cheat.
Thanks
Jeanie
