I do, I'm a writer and web designer, although I haven't been working much lately. I do use voice recognition software for rough drafts now and that helps. But anytime I " over " exert - which pretty much means doing *anything* with my fingers - I pay for it. On the plus side, I'm trying Lyrica (which is similar to Neurontin, I think) and it seems to be helping a little.

I know, I just wish we didn't have to cope with it on a daily basis I used to think that living with chronic pain would be the worst thing in the world, mainly because I feel like I'm a wuss about pain. But now I'm an old pro And my RA isn't nearly as bad as a lot of people on this list, so I sometimes just feel sorry for all of us...
