Married people with RSD would have a hard time saying their significant other is as supportive as your S.O. appears to be Catra!
Then there are those who are in a relationship that is limping along because of the disability-%^&*-storm CRPS has caused to the relationship. A boyfriend who won't read about CRPS, a fiance' who says why isn't dinner on time, the pain is in your head why are you on medication, the parents who say you should pull yourselves up by the bootstraps...most of us are not blessed with perfectly behaving support systems and there are varying degrees of support and understanding.

Thanks. I feel very very blessed to have him and his family in my life. I've had my share of people who are just jerks and don't understand nor so they want to understand...but thankfully none of those are people who really matter in my life and mostly just people at work (and not in my current location either so thank the lord for small miracles). I really feel for those who don't have that support at home and from those they care about...I cannot imagine how bad things would be for me right now if I didn't have my boyfriend and his family to help support me like they did/do. It kept me sane and kept me fighting. I wish everyone had that kind of support from those close to them.
