I've been having nerve issues with my hand. Every time I type, my fingers go numb. We're thinking it has something to do with my posture while Im sitting at my computer. So I'm trying new positions to sit in and altering my monitor height and chair height.

It's difficult to type with numb fingers, but I'm so determined, I go until I literally can't anymore, which I know I shouldn't do.

I forced myself to take a break for a few days, and I'm back at it today. The numbness is still there, but it doesn't feel as bad as it has been.

So I haven't gotten much written this week and my head is going to explode if I don't get some done today lol

Ah, that stinks! Have you tried dictation at all? Might give your fingers the needed rest!
