hello y'all,
 
Looks like a thermography is on my schedule for 3-08.  Had one yaars ago that was negative and have studied Conwell's reports here in Colorado.  Can't remember too much, but do remember how useless it seemed at the time.  Both upper extremeties affected, so they put my food in water.  Not much learned and was discounted in the ruling on disability in the courts.  13 years later, here I go again, the old IME.  
 
To escape the hard winter in Colorado I left for 5 weeks in south Texas, and though the temps are in the 70's I am having some serious episodes.  I have not had my hands actually hot and needed to put something around my face on occasion for comfort.  Can't decide if it mis just a heavier atmosphere, or what.  We all know what drops in barometric pressure and wind can do to our pain, but this is weird.
 
What can anyone tell me.  Also, when both extremeties are affected, did they immerse your foot, and what readings did positive readings indicate.
 
Thank you for any help.

Hi there,,,,,, Thanks for posting here asking your questions.... Tho alot different one.... geee,,,,, with all that I have searched n heard.... That is completely a new one on me!!!!! Wish that I had some answers... Tho I just  have moved into Texas here in SA......... best move n decision that I could have made.... Tho,,, last  couple of weeks has been a great great experience to my body also.... Our bodies do not know what or how too react being so overwhelmed and drained with the pain issues....  My meds have been cut down sooo greatly n feeling so much better mentally n emotionally without all that I was taking... drs here are soo dissappointed in drs back North... They could have n should have done alot more... It was all about getting me under thier fingers to be in thier control.... Not to be happening at all... Me is wishing that I could dance... I would dance in front of them if possible.  So here hoping for a great pain free weekend as is possible..... Waiting on , hoping on that someone has answers for you!!!!                 Annie

Hi Cosmicmama;
I have had RSD in both arms,shoulders,neck and down my spine to T8. I had three tests one right after the other one to diagnosis RSD/CRPSII. Yes, I did have to stand in cold water one foot then the other. At this time I hadnt been treated at all for the horrific pain I was barely.....When the Dr finished my tests he ask me what they were using to treat my case of RSD, I damn near fainted. For 2 1/2 years cork comp dr's were calling me a phoney,a drug seeker and a hypocondriac. The Dr that did the thermography was literally sttunned to find out how I had been treated.
The first test was a nueclar bone scan, this was just ofr a benchmark but there was already noticable bone loss in my forearms, the last test I had was a ganglion stellate block...for the first time in almost 3 years I was pain free for about 4 hours.
Back to the thermogram, it wasnt bad at all, just a little cold, they keep that room at 60 degreed and it was icewater I was standing in.I was so happy to find out that I did have RSD simply so that criminal Farmers Insurance Company would stop screwing with me, they even went as far to pic a few carefully selected medical records and had one of the staff Doctors in another state twist what they said and call me a liar and a fake. I am in Colorado, are you?
