Re: Re: Rheumatoid Arthritis Doesn't Hinder Computing Skills, Study Shows

[Guest guest]

I have RA and FMS and I have managed to do my computer-related work thus far.

Granted, I do have wrist support for typing. I also have been known to wear

fingerless gloves to keep my fingers warm to help with stiffness and pain. My

biggest issue is when I do more repetitve (sp) things like cut/pasting and

editing text/html.

My biggest problem with my job is sitting. I have to be sure to sit correctly

or I will pay for it. Leaning over to do coding or something will set me into

fits.

Another study will come out tomorrow that shows they are full of crap. Keep our

chins up high people!
