I have RSD. I wonder why there are RSD posts in the Somatoform forum. RSD is not a Somatoform disease. I hope you will all feel better very soon.
In addition to a nerve entrapment that gives me RSD symptoms, I used to have lots of pain in most of my muscles. My body used to hurt all over and I could not really exercise for long as hard as I tried because my muscles would hurt so very much.
Well, one doctor checked my thyroid and it shows I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an atibody for my own thyroid, that is an autoimmune problem. I started to eat Kelp and use Clary Sage essential all and those things helped me some for whcih I was very thankful.
Finally, a doctor, an actual MD, told me that even though I had been tested for celiac disease and which result was negative, I could still be sensitive to gluten. Well, I completely stopped eating gluten anyway following his instructions and guess what. I am so much better!!!!! I still have RSD but the Fibromalgia-like , Myofascial-type pain are gone!!! What a difference!!! The doctor said that gluten can cause inflammation of the thyroid, that is why I had Hashimoto;s. When your thyroid is inflamed, pain can worse considerably. It has been a month I stopped eating gluten and I really feel much better. The doc said by 5 months I should feel the maximum effects of a gluten free diet. I am able to exerice so much more and i feel the RSD is fading a little bit.
Try it. It might work for you too!
Good luck!
