Is Complex regional pain syndrome an autoimmune disease?

Is Complex regional pain syndrome an autoimmune disease?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis : two infections on one target trigger autoimmunity. One infection like a virus marks the inside of the cell while a larger infection like a bacteria marks the outside of the cell.

In Complex regional pain syndrome there is severe swelling due to fluid in tissue and skin discoloration.

Herpes can cause a blister reaction.

albumin prevents e.coli and strep biofilms

albumin however might be used in MRSA biofilms!!

albumin seems to act like a sponge to hold fluid...so could this explain why the areas remain swollen?

Do patients with complex regional pain syndrome have eczema?  Is complex regional pain syndrome the result of MRSA cross-targeting with a herpes virus?
