Risk: The smoking time-bomb is located on the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra. With an explosive force 13,000 times the power of the atomic bomb that annihilated Hiroshima, the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa killed more than 36,000 people and radically altered global weather and temperatures for years afterwards.
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is a condition that features a group of typical symptoms, including pain (often burning type), tenderness, and swelling of an extremity associated with varying degrees of sweating, warmth and/or coolness, flushing, discoloration, and shiny skin.
RSD consists of unexplained intense pain in a part of the body which has been injured and includes altered sensation and reduced motion in the body part affected. 1  Once thought to be a rare disorder, reflex sympathetic dystrophy occurs in people of all ethnic backgrounds, with women affected twice as often as men. RSD most commonly occurs in adults in their 20s to 50s but may occur at any age.
