HOW WILL I EVER ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING WITH THIS MUCH PAIN IN MY HANDS?!

wheeliewifee:

I’m so fed up. I can’t use the computer. I can’t cook. I can’t write. I can’t art. I can’t make jewelry.
I can barely use my phone or feed myself.

I’m able to work around almost anything else: back pain, leg pain, tremors, even migraines- but without my hands I’m fucking useless…

What I used to do when my hands got too bad to use. Was get a bent stick. Like a taking drum drumstick. And tie it into my arms. And use that to type on keyboards.

If this is a long term problem, you can get access switches that can attach to certain devices including access things for computers. And use those to control a computer. That’s what people with no use of their hands, or no hands, do. There are switches activated in every single possible way.

It’s slow but it’s better than nothing.
