Nerve damage - wrist drop
#5
Hi,

Thanks...

Rolling ball mouse - will look into that. I forgot they existed. They are effectively an old style mouse upside down, aren't they? Good idea, and certainly worth trying. I can sort of use a mouse/trackpad with non-dominant hand, but can't do any of the gestures or quick shortcuts. Seems to make my back ache too, so using my other hand might be making me sit weirdly.

I've got B complex plus good quality multivitamin and minerals. I don't use fish oil due to being a vegetarian, but will check my diet covers enough omega-3 etc. I normally use flaxseed oil and things like that, but I might need a supplement there. Will research more... I have l-tyrosine among my supplements too. Will consider low dose creatine - obviously I get less in my diet than more carnivorous folks!

I plan to electrically stimulate some of the muscles in my forearm that currently don't work to avoid too much muscle wastage, but want to chat to a neurologist next week just to be sure it won't cause other problems at this stage.

Good ideas there, thanks for your time.
