Have any of you had experience with losing your hair? I have been diagnosed with RSD for 2 years. I have tried blocks, spinal stim., and a variety of meds. I have lost all of my hair on both hands (where the RSD is, and I know that is a side effect of the disease) and now I am noticing that I am losing hair on my arms and have lost it under my arms. Does this mean the RSD is spreading? Or did I misunderstand when I read about losing hair and it meant the whole body? Bad enough to feel like this 24/7 but I have to look odd too? Couldn't my hairy legs go first? Thanks for everyone's help.
