RSD: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
 
One of our boys, a Singer/Dancer, has been diagnosed with RSD. This is an insidious disease that causes severe, burning pain throughout their body. I know first hand how awful this disease is and how much he struggles to function daily.  We have maintained his privacy to allow him to grow into this disease and understand how this will affect him in his life and future. Recently, he has experienced an onslaught of symptoms. The disease is moving and progressing. It began in one arm after a car accident after experiencing what we all considered a stinger to his arm. After initial healing, it began it's destruction.  A few weeks after the "healing", he began experiencing more intense pain, unexplainable pain. After 18 months of therapy, doctor's, specialist, a neurologist stumbled upon it as the symptoms appeared during an examination. There are physiological changes that occur when RSD is in rare form. His hands and arms began to turn an amazing shade of red, right before our eyes and the pain begins. He describes it as putting your hands in ice and leaving it there.
