You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Although I'm no spring chicken, I refuse to call it arthritis so let's just say it's mous-itis...from my computer mouse. Although it feels like arthritis in my pinkie finger joint and that side of my palm, it's not really around my wrist like carpal tunnel. ? Any suggestions? Should I upgrade to a better, ergodynamic (or whatever the word is) mouse. I just can't seem to hold my hand in the correct position or may be it's just there tooo.long! Is that a hint I should get off the computer?

My DH had one of those wrist braces and I can def. tell how it lifts my hand off the desk instead of letting it "slouch" while I click away.

Ideas, suggestions?

Teach yourself to LET GO OF THE MOUSE.. anytime you're not actually using it.. it's amazing how often I just would leave my hand sitting there when i could easily lift my hand, wiggle my fingers etc. It doesn't take long, just attention, to change the habit and it really helps.
