Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Here are a few facts from RSD Hope that might help some of the new members with some of the questions that you might have. RSD AND BLURRY EYES Many patients with RSD suffer from periodic blurriness of the eyes. This can last for days or even weeks, but normally goes away. However, it can return periodically. Why this happens is not exactly known but if you visit an Opthomologist during these blurry periods they will not be able to see anything wrong so it lends itself to probably being due to changes in the autonomic system and/or a temporary flare of the RSD and Sympathetic nerves near the eye and optic nerve. RSD AND SWEATING! Many but not all patients suffer from profusive sweating at various stages of RSD. This is due to the autonomic system being out of whack. The autonomic system is attacked by RSD. " It's one of two ways that the Autonomic System acts. One is the Sympathetic System; the other is the Parasympathetic System. The Autonomic system is that part of the body which acts automatically; things like breathing, circulation, and sweating. Unless we do Yoga, we don't usually try to change these things, they just happen. The Parasympathetic system is what is operating when we go to sleep or rest. The Sympathetic is what wakes us up, and especially what operates when a lion comes around the corner. It's your get-up-and-go, and especially, your " Fight or flight " Responses. " This is a good description written by Anchell at: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lindafrd/index.html She also has a site on MS. I hope that some of this info helps someone!
