Default Me and my crazy legs!!!
Today started out well until we started to make the "mom" rounds....with each visit my legs would do something different...I swear they have their own personalities... does anyone else have this when multiple parts are affected?...one leg was icy cold and mottled and the other was hot and formed knots...I am really going to start videoing they because only a handful of people have seen the do this. I LOVE this crazy ride.....NOT!!!!!!

Cindi...

YESS!!!!! I call my legs "bipolar" because they behave so differently. I hate the temperature changes and especially the mottleling and splotching. I can't handle wearing long pants because of the material brushing across my thigh. People look at me like I'm Shrek when the colors are blazing. I hate it. Also when I am covered in sweat and my teeth are chattering. SUCKS!

Cindi... You are not alone. My legs look oh so pretty, I think at some point everyone with RSD has crazy conditions dealing with the ugly mottled cold or the sun burnt look that your leg is on fire. I also have it happen to my hands and arms. I guess we would be called tri-colored if we were animals.

Wait..Me too!!!! Even right now as I speak..my pain is so high that I feel like I am drenching sweat but to the touch no sweat just shiny lookin legs and I quiever at times, like a parkinson's patient AND if anyone even looks at me..it hurts... plus my mottled legs are not pretty either... I put off showing them in public as long as possible once summer arrives... We are a group aren't we but we are a wonderful family just the same!!

Hugz, Kathy

Wait...

I shivvvver too! What's that about? Is it meds? And the "looking at you"...I feel like I am "exposed" when I go out in public. Stores, Grocery shopping, etc. I can't handle being around people. I am afraid that they will run into me or hurt me. Even driving. I know that I' crazy for feeling this.,, but...

Kim
