Topic: RSD and/or Lyme ?

Does anyone here have an RSD diagnosis?

Has it been attributed to Lyme or the more common cause of injury?

Most importantly, does RSD always have to include swelling or skin color changes?

I suffer horribly from burning skin sensations on what should be non-painful contact. This started a few years ago in my feet, now it involves most of my body from the neck down. I have NO motor problems.

Suspicious that RSD (autonomic nervous system) could be a part of this, but just not certain and looking for any experiences?

Thanks for any help

Most of us have had the burning skin sensations.

It is hopefully resolved with treatment.

For those it does not and progresses it is called RSD.

I soak in a hot tub with epsom salts, ginger root and lemon. You can also add baking soda if you are

not sensitive. I don't it makes me itch. After soaking doc recommended rinse with cold/cool water

to stimulate the nerves. I hate it but it does make me feel better.
