(this is not helping)
------
I'm currently writing some notes on the PC based on my lecture notes so that I can better prepare for my exam in modern European history. As I progress, it becomes more and more difficult to write without having to correct spelling errors. I also seem to be experiencing some sort of light cramp, where it feels like my hands are sweating. In addition to this, my wrists feel constrained and writing becomes more and more painful. (as I said, writing this isn't helping.)
I've tried doing the right things:
* Sit up straigth
* Elbows and knees in a 90 degree angle.
* Try to relax
* Sit on a comfortable chair.
* Line of sight to the computer screen is more or less completely level.
But it's not helping. I tried holding my right arm (the one hurting the most) under cold water for about a minute, and although it helped with the sweating, it didn't cure the aching. Besides, having written this thread, the sweat is back.
Any advice on how to fix this? I'm considering taking a break for a few hours and continue tonight. But if it's not better, I'm in a worse position then than I am now.
(My exam is Tuesday afternoon.)
