Carpal Tunnel, ugh
I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in college and I’ve struggled with it off and on in the past 12 years or so. I’m having a bad bout of it right now - worse than I’ve had for years - so I’m trying to stay off the computer as much as I can. I’m not sure if it is my workstation set-up, the change of season, too much typing (not that I’ve been doing much at all - I hardly have time!) or what, but I’ve gotten to the point where even folding the laundry causes pain, which means I need to back way off. So, don’t expect much from me for awhile - blog posts, emails, whatever. Sorry!

Oh yuck. I’ve had a mild case of that - the summer after college when I took a temporary typing/mouse-work job - and it was awful. I hope yours get better really quickly!

I’ve had bouts of tendinitis for about the same amount of time, so you have my sympathy. It really does come and go, and seems the best cure is to stop the repetitive motion… which is not always possible. I found learning to use the mouse left-handed made mine almost disappear. Good luck, and hope you feel better soon.
