We are fairly young and it is really hard to wrap my mind around my wife never ever being able to do certain things with me and our kids.

Last thing to try and get the RSD under control will be the Ketamine infusions. Problem is the treatment that has been suggested to us is not covered by insurance and would be quite expensive. *edit*

Thanks!
Look into fighting the insurance company in order to pay it. This happens all the time with infusions. Often times you will prevail. Talk to her doctor who can help or give good advice. Matt I feel for you and your wife. I can relate to you because my wife has RSD--nearly 10 years now.
