There are some great websites out there that help rsd suffers with their symptoms and figuring out what rsd will mean to them. Everyone has different reactions but there is certain constants to it like burning pain, pain to touch, difficulty moving affected area, etc... the symptoms can go on and on. For me it means severe pain/burning 24/7 lots of doctors appointments praying for relief, and the complete loss of who and what I was before I developed RSD. I am now trying to figure out just what I can do without pain flair ups, and how to deal with all the different things that crop up quickly with this. The worst for me is the mental symptoms-loss of short term memory, difficulty focusing or staying with a conversation, mental fog and exhaustion. Some are from the drugs I'm on some are going to be with me for the rest of my life...a good place to start are the websites:
www.rsdhope.org www.rsdfoundation.org www.rsdrx.com there are more, but these are the ones I go to the most. Hope that helps m
