Hi, my Husband has had rsd for 5 years now and is it great pain. When his stress levels increase so doe the pain, discolouration ect. We tend to avoid the crowds because of that. His vision has been affected too but that is more of a ongoing thing. I put on the mood music cds for him and that seems to help.I hope this helps as Rsd can effect people in so many different ways. love Elaine |
