http://fibromyalgia.forumotion.com/rsds-reflex-sympathetic-dystrophy-syndrome-f13/-t1.htm Because of the nature of autoimmune disorders they are often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. Recently in my research I came across a website about a "syndrome" that I had never heard about, (at least not that I could recall). It is called RSDS or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome. While reading the information on the website at American RSDHope, I began to wonder, "Do I have this too?" (I plan to discuss this with my neurologist at my next visit!) Anyway, in making arrangements to exchange links with the webmaster of American RSDHope, I learned that the gentleman, Keith also has FM. I have invited him to visit the forum and post a topic or two on the subject and I hope that he soon will. Be sure and check back in the future for these topic posts. I am sure you will find them very interesting. The Following excerpt is from the RSDHope Website:FOUR Main Symptoms/Criteria There are FOUR Main Symptoms/Criteria for a diagnosis of RSDS: Constant chronic burning pain. Inflammation Spasms-in blood vessels and muscles of the extremities Insomnia/Emotional Disturbance (including limbic system changes) Do you have it? Hopefully, Keith will be able to enlighten us, as well as arm us with questions we can ask our doctors about RSDS.
