I'm beginning to think that my stims are contributing to my tendonitis and carpal tunnel issues... I need to get some wrist braces that are comfortable to some extent, rather than what I have now, as I cannot wear them for more than 10 minutes at a time without ripping them off.
I type a lot, and while I know that isn't good for it... it's almost compulsive, an interest, or something like that. I type ALL THE TIME. I can't help it at all. I can walk away to do other things in the house, then come right back to the computer... even typing just the same word over and over at times. I really like the clicky sound from the keys, in all honesty.
But I also hand flap when excited, and "type" in the air when thinking (if I'm talking to someone, it helps me remember my line of thought), and twist my hands around a lot.
All of my hobbies involve using my hands too... beading, drawing, writing, playing video games... ugh, haha.
Tendonitis is hitting hard this time around... it's VERY painful, and yet, here I am, still typing away. My arms are very swollen, and I realized that my stims may contribute, because last night I was flapping and clapping like crazy because I was just so happy about things.
*shrug* Just some random thoughts, something I thought might be rather interesting, or maybe this is just a mental note to myself to analyze it more later on and maybe keep data of some sort to see how often it happens? When I figure out the purpose of this, I'll let you know, haha.
