I feel like this is happening to me and my boyfriend too. He's really great generally...does anything I ask...but lately just seems a little clueless about just how MUCH pain I am in right now dealing with my additional shoulder problems. I'm frustrated...he's frustrated...

We'll get through it and all will be well...but my RSD is the norm and now the shoulder pain after 5 months is also becoming a norm to him (not to me) so I think he just sometimes forgets how bad it is.

It's good that you stood up for yourself. Sometimes I do...sometimes I don't. If I do...I feel like I am a whiner and complainer...and if I don't then I get berated for not asking for help. It's kind of no win...but I'm sure that's my fault for not standing up for myself every time and instead pushing though time and time again.

I hope that your pain gets better...that the stress goes away and things can get back to normal for you. Hugs.
