Paula Abdul reveals battle with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD)
In the May 2, 2005, issue of People magazine, singer, choreographer, and American Idol judge Paula Abdul discusses living with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), also known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Abdul says the chronic pain of the syndrome began with a cheerleading accident at age 17, but it was not until November 2004 that RSD was identified. She states that after 12 surgeries and heavy medications that she says made her chronically nauseous, sleep-deprived and confused, treatment with the medication Enbrel (etanercept) has given her relief.

That makes sense.

Thanks for the research. I am sure some on this thread (OK, me too) are feeling a little embarrassed, like the people who made fun of Jerry Lewis when he got large due to the medication he was taking.
