Hi,
Anyone here had experience of the wrist drop caused by damage to the radial nerve?
I'm having real trouble using computers and cannot write with a pen. I can type one-handed, but it is very slow. I cannot use a mouse at all. I can use a trackpad or touchscreen with difficulty and after a few minutes other muscles start aching because they aren't used to this. Any recommendations for equipment or tips for making life easier? My job requires computer use and very specialist software, so unfortunately the type of accessibility features you get in something like MS Word, or on a Mac aren't sufficient.
Second question, does anyone know of any supplements that are neuro-protective? In terms of diet, I need to make sure I get my essential fatty acids (I don't eat meat or fish). What else is good for the health of your nerves?
Thanks in advance,
barq
