The arthritis in mine has caused cysts where the fluid has built up in the joints and leaked out into the surrounding tissue - especially in my most active fingers. My one finger typing is fast, but the nail is a mess because the overuse has caused problems with the cyst pressuring the nail bed and malforming the nail. I am vain about my hands too, so even worse, lol.That doesn't sound much fun - & I've noticed using the mouse to paint in photoshop tends to hurt when I do it for too long, but there's not a chance in hell that I'll give that up, either. My typing is dire & takes ages but I won't be giving that up - however did we manage before the internet....
But am I going to give up keying my tablet? Am I heck...
My fingerless mittens are a godsend in the cooler months. And very easy to knit. Great exercise...
