no matter whether she takes the new job or not, check out different

keyboards. Makes a lot of difference.

I am still working full time, as a high school secretary. I was dx. in

'92. The pain made it very difficult for me to hold a pen and write a

message. I bought BIG FAT pens and pencils, and actually found it

easier to type out a message rather than hand-write one. gentle hugs!
