Fattieratties, I'm going to assume, so don't take offense.
![]() My wife has suffered with RSD for 10 years. To this day she insists I think she is over doing it, lying, pretending...on and on. In reality I know she has RSD, without a doubt. Me being a guy, her being shy, I supposed to be able to read her mind, but for the life of me, after 30 years of marriage I still can't. ![]() ![]() Another words communication is so important and sometimes its hard to convey the pain that you feel. Being a male I'm sure this can be very difficult. Hang in there, there will be a cure soon. |

There are many psych issues for both us and our loved ones regarding RSD. If you haven't had the opportunity to see a therapist personally, or as a couple, I think it can be incredibly helpful.
Being dependent physically and finacially can complicate the balance of power in a relationship. Utilize whatever resources you can to minimize this imbalance, if possible. (Does your state offer free personal aides? Have you applied for SSDI? Etc.) |
