Computers and health<br />
Oh, yes! Almost forgot Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). You may know it as typing<br />
injury. Start by browsing <strong>The</strong> Typing Injury FAQ document, then follow the leads.<br />
<strong>The</strong> RSI Newsletter is for people who suffer from keyboard related injuries. It is<br />
regularly posted to the SOREHAND mailing list, for Discussion of Carpal Tunnel<br />
Syndrome, Tendinitis, etc.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a Chronic fatigue syndrome / Myalgic encephalomyelitis Web page, an<br />
interesting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome page, and a Co Cure mailing list "the Chronic<br />
Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Information Exchange."<br />
If you have even the slightest pain in your arm or shoulder that could be related to<br />
your use of a computer, check out these leads. Personally, I lingered too long, and it<br />
took me over nine months to be reasonably well again.<br />
