system weakness and keyboarding

[Guest guest]

,

I have this kind of weakness too. (Got sick at 34 now 41 so your

daughters age bracket, sort of) I often have trouble keyboarding as my

arms/hands get so weak. I've just gotten a free electrically operated

dental chair which plugs into a normal house outlet. Dentists often send

them to the dump when they upgrade so they are easy to get. I am now

waiting for a double pole-mounted articulating arm to hang my laptop

computer from as I can use my computer for longer if I am

reclining....sounds like your daughter, like me, probably has

orthostatic intolerance and blood pressure/volume problems...the result

is systemic weakness....I am going for mitochondrial testing in one

month and will report back to this list when I have results. best, Beth

My daughter, 35, is having a severe CFS relapse. She was bedridden for

two years,

hospitilized, then had a wonderful nine-month remission.
