think of as voodoo RSI - I can use my hands and arms for days with no
problems and no pain. Then out of the blue - hands, arms, neck become
very, very painful - have to put a pillow in my lap to support my arms
when they are like this - then the symptoms disappear as suddenly as
they came. I have not been able to identify all the triggers for it but
have learned to not use my hands for anything that I can find a way to
do without them -hence the preference for a headset over a hand held
mic.
