What do you call RSD??

I have always viewed a disease as a foreign thing coming into your body and wreaking havoc. Then I have always viewed disorder as something already in your body wreaking havoc.

So because of this thinking, I have always called RSD a disorder. Nothing "new" came "into" the body to cause problems. It is your own body causing problems. When my mom had cancer, it was a disease - a foreign body came in and caused problems. It was the same with my dad and AIDs.

Can someone please show me where a "disorder" was in fact called a "disease"???? Or, vice versa.

Please check back for updates, as I am on a group, http://RSDSupport.com and if given permission, I will be posting some responses from them.
