Well, i've been mentioning this in threads here and there, but i figure i should make an official thread somewhere. =P  Just so people will know.

sera has dorsal compartment syndrome with lateral epicondylitis.  Last month whe managed to cause a major flare-up (by holding her baby in her right arm, hehe? <<;).  From all i was told, it wasn't caused by computer use at all-- it's not carpal tunnel-- but sometimes computer use irritates it.  *misses playing WoW*

The big thing is that any type of concentrated effort using it will make it worse.  Which means that inking hurts, colouring kills it, and even typing has a tendency to tick it off.  The biggest issue is that if i push it too hard, it will start to shake.  <<;  So i'm still trying to get some Naa stuff done, but it's incredibly slow going.  : ( 

So, yes!  There it is.  i haven't had any major flare-ups since i got through OT about a year and a half ago. =P  i start OT again. . . uhhh. . . sometime later this month.  i super hope it will help again. ^^; 

*waves and gamphs off*
