My RSD is in both hands, wrists and arms. Believe it or not I have been using crocheting to help strenthen my limbs. It is not alot, but I think it is helping. It also helps me from getting really depressed. Gives my brain other focus besides the CRPS. I thought my world was taken from me in 7-06 but I am learning and adapting.

With the RSD, sometimes I cannot type a key. My Friend got me the best christmas present. Dragon Naturally speaking Version 9. You talk, it types. Really helps out when I am in crippling pain. Takes a little patience to get it trained and a little cash to buy the package but well worth it. I do not know what I would do to smile if I did not have my groups to chat in. When I was not using the computer at all, I was extremely depressed and everyone was really worried that I was being mentally crippled by my diagnoses. Now I have my groups no matter how I feel.

praying for less pain days for all of us!

Gentle Hugs,

Rain
