Mike,
I'm definitely with you. However, I would note that, as an asthma sufferer as well as an RSDer, adrenaline isn't always a blessing with asthma, since tension and stress from too much adrenaline over time can aggravate asthma symptoms.

On the plus side, I've discovered that deep tissue massage (if you can stand it) is a great source of relief. You don't have to have the masseuse touch your affected limb(s), but the toxin release and decrease in muscle tension from such massage is wonderfully helpful. If you can't handle massage at all, cranio-sacral therapy can also provide relief. As a note, however - most insurance companies won't cover such treatments (if they cover anything for you), and they can get expensive. If there is a massage school near you, you can often get these treatments very cheaply. The downside here is that if the student does not understand much about your condition, you'll have to be careful to explain exactly what they can and can't do.
