I forgot you didn't like the pool, huh? The problem with RSD is you can't really can't assume it's the cause of everything strange thing that happens. As bad as what you're describing, it could also be an allergic reaction to a med as well. Cortizone cream might be worth trying. You probably need to get into your primary and/or a dermatologist asap as well.

My daughter sometimes has this problem and she uses benadyl

not that I don't like baths.. I don't have on..lol yeah I'm going to set one up. but the itchy areas are getting scary now too.. swelling i increasing lump are opening and starting to bleed and the RSD areas all have it on it.. kick is my PCP is off till monday.. I might not be able to wait that long.. I took benadryl this morning with no affect ..hoping it was allergy though Ive only ever been allergic to bee stings and if it was a sting well ..Ild be dead. so still at a loss.. but the areas that are new are sensitive to touch now as well as temperature.. .. sooooo sucks.. any other ideas.. i will try as many as possible...

May I make a suggestion. If contemporary methods are failing. Ask your dr. for a prescription of ATARAX. This is a little anti-itch pill, it works great. You only take it prn. It may make you tired though.

whats prn. and thanx I will research and mention to my dr,s this itchy, reddening painful, will challenging crap needs to go away.. I fight the urge to scratch.. I'm sire every one knows how painful having an itch you can't scratch is.. and how painful scratching RSD is .. ohhhh. its driving me nuts . thanx for your response

prn is "as needed" I had to take it awhile ago and it worked great. Good luck!

Thanx.. ill take as much luck as possible

Did you by chance start any new meds around the same time this started happening? Not all meds cause an instant reaction..they build slowly over time. For example.. the first time my son was on amoxicillan he had no reaction. The second time.. a rash on his back. The third time..full blown hives. So if you started a new med even before the symptoms started..it could be related. Just a thought. hope you get feeling better my cankle comrad!

nothing I haven't been on for months already.. even doses are the same.. .. and as far as vitamins ..during my physical 2 mnmths ago I was vitamin D deficient. so I had to take prescription vit D but that ended over a week ago.. but thats just vitamin I get it through food all the time so I can't see it being that. ..

I think you jinxed me. I have been itching like crazy the past few days. Thanx
