Encourage him to log on to a support forum like this one. Having people who understand his condition may help alleviate some of the anger and depression he's feeling. Does he see some sort of counselor about his anger and depression? This could also help him emotionally. I would also encourage you to see some sort of counselor. They will help you find ways to cope, and will keep you grounded when it gets difficult to deal with. Also, like Jason said, I hope you stick around here. Having a place to vent for you, as well as friends who have an understanding for what you are both going through is really important to coping with RSD. _________________ Kelli http://kellirsd.blogspot.com/
