Ive been newly diagnosed with RSD and it seemed like for a long time I never had any good days. Lately I seem to have some good days and now it seems to stretch for a week. I still have some symptoms but they are not so intense. I was thinking that maybe the weather had alot to do with it becuz it is getting warmer, but even on a warm day my symptoms can be bad.
My major issue right now is still that I feel like my skin is burning like a sun burn and if I am outside and I do get just a little sun on my skin it feels like a really bad sun burn and I have to get covered. Also I still sweat alot *ALOT so if I am sweating and air breeze by me that causes me to be very uncomfortable. so nowadays I have to wear a shaw outside or sweater and it is in the 90 degrees. I feel caught in a 90 year old body and I am only in my late 30's.
I guess it seems like I am still having some issues with it, but it is not comparable to what I was going through just months ago. So I am just wondering if there are patterns of symptoms of RSD. If most people have it 24 hours 365 without any letting up or if the symptoms seem a little better is common.
