She has been taking benedryl and it seems to be helping. Hopefully it is going away.

Thanks Sandy
Hi Sandy, RSD rashes can pop up anywhere when we have full body or generalized. They come and go. It's summertime and 110 where I am. I've noticed when I perspire on my neck, the rash arises.
Because RSD is an autonomic condition, our body temperature is out of control. If you put your hand on the small of Lindsey's back and it's hot, that is a sign of being in her spine. I get rashes in areas of sweating. My Dr. says to be sure and use sun lotion when outside. I have several hot spots. I've also noticed lymph gland swelling that goes with RSD. I have had lymphatic massages to release the swollen gland and the liquid in the lymph.
As a Mom myself, I can't imagine how painful this is for you to see your daughter going thru this. My daughter used to drive me to therapy-she was 15 when I first got it, but had 3 remissions. I didn't get it full blown till after she finished college and married. My husband and daughter and son in law are wonderful to me. Please give Lindsay a hug. your friend, loretta
