Thank you everyone for your responses. Some of them made me tear up because it is good to know that I am not alone and that he does not mean to snap at me. I always call him out when he's acting like a jerk because that is just me. He fell in love with me for that reason and I'm not going to change. I always treat him like there's nothing wrong with him because he acts normal (for the most part), but I need to get better about not asking him to do things that he can't do.

He does NOTHING for his condition. He has started to take vitamins (St. John's Wort and a multi-vitamin), but doesn't do any exercises or use anything to help. He has a TENS unit and some Bio Freeze but he doesn't use either one anymore. He does wear a sleeve over his bad arm, especially when the weather changes. He sleeps well at times, but tells me that his sleep is interrupted and he doesn't dream because he is missing a cycle of sleep which is common in RSD patients?

There is also something else that is odd and maybe you all can shed some light on this.. He is into things that would have been strange to him before his accident. He watches UFO shows and reads about crazy things online. He knows it's weird too (because he has said so), but he continues to do it. He used to be into cars, which he still kind of is, but this alien obsession has taken over. If it makes him happy, I am fine with it, but it is weird that his hobby has gone from cars to aliens.. Anybody else experience something similiar?
