More on RSI/CTS

Since my initial post about my battle with RSI, a lot of people have gotten in touch with me one way or another to discuss their plights, and what has or has not worked for them.  My situation has also improved dramatically.

Two things have lead to this improvement: using a 'real' keyboard when I can, rather than the flat keyboard built-in to my PowerBook and secondly, making sure that each time I do use the PowerBook's keyboard that I use a wrist support underneath my right arm.  Both of these things has helped to the point where I can type everyday and not be in complete agony.  However, different strategies work for different people.

Google's staff Doctor Taraneh Razavi had a brief, but good post about RSI on the Google blog.  It's a good read if this type of thing concerns you.  Read it here: Avoiding RSI.  Hope it helps someone out there!
