Mary, Vitamin B6 is a great healer of the connective tissue, which is where the RSI problem centers. When I get those pains (and I use a Microsoft Naturaul keyboard too, I swear by them) I pop a B complex and some calcium because that also helps the body heal. I wont swear that this is a magic bullet, but perhaps if your husband tried those things, and avoided too much soda, which leaches those things from the body, he might find a little relief. Perhaps if you had constructive things to do for your husband, you might feel less helpless and less resentful for the helpless feelings. Maybe backrubs and gentle massage of his upper and lower arms? Take care, hope these suggestions help. Pain free days, Annie
