Hello @wakeupkitty. So sorry to hear of your ailments with your hands/wrists/fingers. I understand as I suffer from arthritis in all three and myneck/shoulders/back/knees....you name it. That's a story for another day.
For today, congratulations to @alonicus, @myscrible, @toryfestus, and @estilodereba for your winning pot-bellied pig stories. As promised, I have gifted you a small prize and left a Tip on your posts.
Take care everyone and have a good rest of your Sunday and start to your week.
Thank you !
I'm starting to think that arthritis is the scourge of keyboard-users. There are days where it's just too painful to post, my left hand is quite badly affected. I've started to experiment with speech-to-text software, and come to the conclusion that I need to learn how to speak with an American accent for most of them, and work in a soundproofed room where background noises don't get added to the text 😁
Hey, we could set up a Hive Community for people with arthritis !
It's been painful for me for decades. Thankfully, I've been retired for about ten years now. But when your career has been a keyboard warrior (positive) sitting at a desk for eight hours a day for the past 35 years, it took a toll.
You are right that it limits your abilities while working, but being to remain there for any length of time is murder on the knees for me. I don't know which one is worse, affecting the muscles (rheumatoid) or the joints (osteoarthritis), such as I suffer with. Thank God for the good days. If it weren't for the knee/shoulder/ankle and any other pad I can find, I wouldn't be able to sit or stand for more than 15 minutes at a time.
All I know is that it's painful and can last for days or weeks when flare ups happen. Having numerous underlying conditions (such as Type 2 Diabetes meds) hamper any attempts to reduce my arthritis condition. It's a revolving door for me.
Setting up and maintaining a community is a task I'm unable to undertake at this stage of my life. I'm been a Mod in a few communities and worked behind the scenes, so it's a daunting task if you can't devote 100% energy and time. An excellent idea, though.
The speech-to-text is an exciting technology beneficial to many.
I'm just thankful that my mind is still somewhat intact and working (I think) to full capability. Thanks so much for your engagement. Take care.

I worked with that for longer. Dragon was good also in own language. I tried google but my phone doesn't want to cooperate
Carpal tunnel syndrome perhaps?
How about Art-Three-Tists?
A bit of creativity and not always typing. I am in.

Wasn't expecting this. Many thanks again ma'am🤗❤
You're welcome. It was a pleasure. Take care.
I'm sorry to hear that dear. Let's take it easy, step by step or or type by type.
Definitely has slowed me down these past few years. I plan to take it easier going forward. Thanks for your concern @akeupkitty. I appreciate it.
Thank you :)
