Forgive me if this has already been discussed somewhere -but I can't find a way to search this site to check...
Has anyone heard of a link between people that have an autoimmune disease (like diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypoactive thyroid disease, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, etc) and CRPS? I've heard that there might be a genetic factor with CRPS, but was wondering about an autoimmune factor that would predispose or increase the likely hood of having CRPS triggered? |

I've always suspected there is an autoimmune component to RSD. But I also suspect there is a microbe or two at work as well.

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. kathie |
