I am new and haven't even introduced myself but felt so moved by Barbara's description of dealing with "the mouse" in her job. I know she said that she had tried "all available alternatives" but I'm wondering if everyone knows about the new ergonomic solutions that are coming out that give one alternative ways to key stroke and "click". There are trap balls that allow one to palm the mouse, extremely sensitive mouse pads that one just touches lightly with the fingers to click, arm supports that attach to the unit and allow your arms to "float" to rest them as you work, and even foot pedals that allow you to click the mouse with your feet.Another help, if at all possible, is to retrain the large upper arm muscles to take over more, and possibly to change postures. The key is to be able to shift stress periodically, and equally. My apologies if all of this has been talked about before I "came on".
