My Summers are miserable. I use to love Colorado weather. Of course it use to be closer to perfect then what it is now.

This summer I couldn't stand to go out unless it was just to get into the car and go straight to a place with air condition.

Winters, same way, can't handle them. Since it has turned off cold, I cannot stand to go out unless it's straight to a heated place but not too hot nor too cold.

Happy Thanksgivings to all of you too. I love Thanksgiving which most people seem to pass and want to go on to Christmas but I was just thinking as I am getting some foods ready to start tomorrow for Thursday, I have to go through this routine again in one month.

This is the first I have heard about a relationship between blood pressure and RSD. I have been taking a very mild medication for hypertension (was hovering around 140/90) for a few years and it pretty much brought it in line -- 125/80 or so.

Lately, it jumps around and goes as high as 160/90 and then back to normal within about 15 minutes. My so-called medical RSD expert only said "Oh you better watch that."

With this new information, I will bring this up again at my next appointment and see what happens.

my blood pressure had always been perfect and then one day three years ago out of no where it went to 200/110. i knew i felt weird and checked my own bp then called the doctor. i can only say it has to be from the rsd directly or from the inactivity the rsd causes.
