The only information that I can offer is that after I was diagnosed with lyme's, I wasn't getting any better. My symptoms obviously started getting worse and were increasing. One reason being that I wasn't being treated the right way. Unfortunately, symptoms of RSD tend to mimic those of Lyme. They thought I was suffering with RSD b/c I was in a bad car accident, and with RSD it is brought upon by some form of trauma. Come to findo ut now that the same thing happens with Lyme,,,as in my case. I had to go to another neurologist and have a few tests done to see the reactivity of my muscles. Because I showed no signs of RSD through some tests, I was not diagnosed, but for a while that was what they thought I had, even though I had been diagnosed with Lyme. What I have figured out, as with so many other people, that drs aren't aware that Lyme can affect someone the way is does. So they find anything else to explain it. I hope I have helped some. BEST OF LUCK!!! My prayers are with her daughter Lisa

Hope this helps too. I believe I looked before in the 300 other medical conditions that lyme mimics, and RSD, reflex... was NOT listed. They had a RSD but had another total meaning! Betty, Iowa

Hey, I was diagnosed with RSD by a doc at a pain clinic in Wis. The symtoms of RSD are similar to Lyme. There is a difference tho. RSD is progressive with more consistancy than Lyme. It does not shift and move as readily as lyme. I was treated with a machine from Dynatron,it sounds familair to the rife machine. Electobes are use to redirect the sympathetic nervous system. I was there 2 weeks. During that time I saw people with RSD get better. I did not get better.I was diagnosed with Lyme 4 months later. Please contact me if you need more info. peace, BJG

The dx of RSD is not definitive. The symptoms can mimic several conditions. I know of patient who received this dx (as one of several) who believes that resting your hands (though not complete immobilitiy), keeping them warm, and not carrying heavy objects including a heavy shoulder bag help a lot. She is doing pretty well now as long as she doesn't overuse her hands.
This is a dx that must be taken very seriously or the pain can get totally out of control.
Best of wishes to the person who suffers from this.
