Dammit, my hands hurt today!

My fingers are aching :( I've had overuse arthritis in my hands since my 20s and it flares up from time to time. I've done jobs involving intensive typing since I was 18, so that's mostly the cause, but not all. Ibuprofen helps but I can't take too much of that crap - sensitive tummy.

I have been working a lot of overtime, but the weird thing - it seems to flare up so much more when I'm depressed about something. I've never heard of a connection like that, but I notice it. It really sucks to wake up in pain and just want to go back to sleep again.

I hate that! I'm pretty sure that I have arthritis in my hands. I just don't want to acknowledge it. It's bad enough that I have carpal tunnel.....

any condition/illness is worse when you're mentally under-the-weather - this is why they say attitude is so important when fighting a sickness. work on your mental strength, and your physical symptoms will soon dissipate...

Im surprised I don't have carpal tunnel by now considering how much pointing and clicking I do.
