I feel so badly for your wife! I am thankful every day that although I did develop this terrible disease, it is not a debilitating as some people have it. Each day I'm discovering something new, whether it's a do or don't. But having a "normal" life again is so incredibly refreshing, I feel like this opportunity to cope in this way as opened up as a break that I really needed. My husband and I got married 3 weeks after my accident that set all of this in motion, and all the surgeries then developing and trying to learn about and deal with having RSD has unfortunately put a strain on our relationship. The big part of this is for me, but it's also for us. I wish your wife all the best though, this site and all the people who share their stories are what's helping me get through. I hope she can continue to find more ways to avoid being in so much pain all day. And kudos to you for being so supportive of your wife, it's really admirable.
