--piedmont physical medicine --has a RSD section and it talks about organ involvement. Carose

Thanks Carose that is the same website as the one in post #2 Dr Schwartz's page by piedmont.. a good resource.. but also not so credible somehow as he is trying to sell ointments etc.. but let me tell ya I'd give a heck of a lot up to see either of these two doctors.

Just spent another day in the ER feeling like something was gonna burst under my right ribs comes and goes in waves bad nasty happenin that no one seems to know what's doin it.. been happenin for quite a while but it realy escalated and scared me enouph to go in.. found out nothing of cource cause no one knows anything.. and they don't connect the dots when they should. I'd sigh but it hurts..

Hugs ya'll

Just a shot but have they checked your gallbladder??
I had to have mine removed a couple of years ago. I had many tests and it wasn't until they had me do the digestive test where I swallowed some bad tasting stuff and they took pictures of it that they found I had gallbladder disease. I do remember that it was painful.
Hope you get some relief soon

After reading this post asking about organ involvement etc... I found myself wondering what exactly is out there now after many years of having rsd (it's been many years) so i did a quick google on pubmed by typing in only the words reflex sympathetic dystrophy after i went into the pubmed site ... and I was surprised that 152 articles came up.... i didn't read more than a few but I did notice a few that mention organs along with rsd....

(i s'pose one of the interesting things too is that quite a few of the abstracts were recent ( this year or last year) and i was smiling to see that rsd is still being used as a term and not always crps etc...)

Anyway, there is stuff out there, here and there, and the neat thing is to see that yes, rsd is being studied and written about all right....and quite a bit the last year or so.....that's good.....

i think quite a few of rsders have symptoms of organ involvement......

Hi everyone.
I hope you don't mind if I put in my 2 cents worth regarding Dr Hooshmand. I would really appreciate if the website that is still available for everyone to see was updated! Many topics have not been reviewed for nearly 10 years despite much changing in that time. Of course there is still some very relevant material but some definitely not.
Many newbies go straight to his site as it is well advertised and I do think it is wrong and somewhat disrespectful of his site admin to allow it to be viewed the way it is.
Of course I do not know him, never been to him so can not comment on his skills , manner etc but now, especially if he has retired he needs to put some work into his site which get thousands of hits per day!
Bye for now *as I get off my soapbox* sorry
