Hi All, I have been feeling so hot and sweaty for the last few days. Actually, can not really sleep. I am sort of sweaty for my neck, upper body. Is this part of RSD symptoms? What can be done about it beside being naked?

Its kinda the nature of the beast. You sympathetic system controls that. for me it comes and goes. Im glad they are jumping to the blocks right away. You might be of the lucky ones and get out of this mess! Keep a positive attitude and dont fret. Everything will work its due course.
Just try not to get ahead of yourself and take it day by day. Sometimes day by day doesnt work so I go momment to momment.
Thank you Jon for the encouragement! Yestersday, i think i had a nervous break down after RSD is confirmed by a doctor. I don't have the block schedule yet but hopefully soon as i need to see the PM doctor first.
I really hope that my RSD will stop progressing. It seems progressing quite rapidly.

hi guys, i also have the hot thing going. it is awful. my hubby will feel me and my body seems cold but i will be dripping sweat. i get very cranky when i sweat so, it's not cool. it comes and goes. this is a newer symptom for me. also newer symptom is daytime sleepiness. went to my pm last month and he said it was from the rsd so he gave me provigil. did not help at all. so bad im having trouble driving. can't seem to keep my eyes open. this is not good as i drive my daughter to summer camp everyday. went to pm today and saw the partner. he said it's not from rsd to go and get a sleep study from my primary doc. do any of you have trouble with excess daytime sleepiness???? it;s driving me crazy. sorry, off the subject here. anyway, hope every has a pain free night, patti
Anita,
The sweats do come and go. Do you notice they come more when your doing something? Theres not much you can do, I start peeling off the clothes.. In the winter I use to wear shorts, then two hrs later Iam like its so cold in here.. It comes and goes so fast.. I actually though I was going through early menopause or something.. This was all before I was dx. I think Jon is right.. sound like your getting early treatment. Thats a good sign.. Rightnow everything is flaring up for you.. Its like a sparkler going off inside you going crazy.. I think once you start the treatments it will all slow down for you.. I was the exact way. Mine progressed quickly.. I woke one day in my hands and quickly to my feet and extremities. The sparks have calmed down now.. Its a differant type of pain then when I first started.
Are you seeing a therapyist at all.. It might help. I can tell your head is spinning right now. Gosh I remember those days so clearly.. My family finally talked me into going to therapy.. It helps just to get your feelings out.. Are you taking any antidepressants?
I know your scared. The unknown is the worst. Just rememeber everyone is differant. Try not to think of the worst. I think its great that YOur going in the right direction. Thats a good sign.. It seems to me you were dx very fast.. Thats a big plus.. Hopefully the can put you in remission.. In the mean time.. Take some time for yourself.. Try to relax alittle.. Sit in the room by yourself.. With some nice soft music. Just try to lower your anxiety.. I feel for you so much.. I wish I could just come over there and hug you.. Sounds like you need it... We are all here for you.. Take it easy.. "hugs"
