Have you tried the 4 F's diet yet? I had stomach issues (pain and random vomiting) until switching.

How about wearing the ring on a chain around your neck?

I would advise you to 1. See a therapist. 2. Then go to a marriage counselor or have sessions with a minister/priest/etc. if you're religious.

IMAGINE if your wife was in your shoes. Would you get annoyed with her for dropping her cane? Is she at all educated about RSD? Argh!

You may need to consider hiring an inexpensive handyman to take over some of your old "duties." IF your wife and kids are capable, then let them. And didn't you post previously she got upset with you for painting? (It is a bad idea. You can further injure yourself and/or jeapordize your benefits.)

They will need time to adjust (therapy will help...) BUT, you deserve respect and compassion.
