I only have minor flares...playing Bejeweled typically sets me off. But Angry birds do not. Normal computer use does not bother me at all. Gardening or twisting the wrist and hand sewing alot seems to bother me. I had to give up crochet and needlework. Magnesium lotion at night on the inner arms also
helps me quite a bit.
I sometimes still wear my braces at night, but then only very occasionally. Sometimes not even once a month. It depends on my activity level.

Mrs.D, I think I played most of the Angry Birds games...I dont like though the "Space HD" version. I like the "Seasons" and "Rio" versions. Now, I am starting to enjoy the Pool Mania, Solitaire (its not the convential Solitaire) and the puzzle. Oh boy, when I start playing, I become so into it.
My osteoarthritis stops me from doing beadings. My bead works have been featured in national magazine in our country
It means it was really nice - ahem. I have flare up of my osteoarthritis these days. My rings could no longer fit in my ring fingers. Its painful and looks awful. But, when you have other health issues, who cares about the looks of your fingers. I will take that any day, just give me a pair of healthy lungs (without the bugs) and healthy nerves!
While watching TV I apply warm compress to my hands and at bedtime, I use Epsom It lotion.
