I am so glad that he councellor seems to be good for him and you too.

As far as braces, I wore hand braces for about 3 years off and on. They did help me with the pain. I had other issues such as carpel tunnel, radial and ulner but they didn't seem to make my RSD any worse.

I also had a band for my ulner nerve I had to wear until I finally had surgery on it but the braces did help me with what I needed. I still use my right one at times to help with the spasms of my fingers. I can wear it for awhile and it helps them to calm down and straighten back up. Mine were special made also. I hope they help Reed.

I hope you go to councelling also, it will help you understand and it will help clense you of your inner feelings without fighting with him so much. Although I do understand why you feel as you do at times.

Bill was disabled before me so I had to learn to deal with his disablities and then when I became disabled, he had an even harder time with mine but he was so good about helping me. He did everything I ask of him and more.

Good luck with both of you and just hang in there, it does get better.
