Palm

-
Perhaps I spoke too soon here.

Recently, the lower part of my hand, below my elbow, was in pain right up to the base of my palm. After talking to my sister and researching on the internet, I suspected the wrist rest as the culprit. Combined with some changes to the chair I was using as well as position of laptop and mouse, the pain was gone...

...except for 3 spots (depicted as "1"s in the photo below) right above the wrist. I then thought maybe it was the way I held my mouse. So now, instead of the base of my palm resting on the lower part of the mouse, it is now off the mouse and lightly on the mousepad. Also, I cut down on the amount of time I spent on my laptop, especially the usage of the mouse.


Now the 3 spots are only slightly painful but replaced by sourish pain towards the middle of the palm (depicted as "2" in the photo below).

Hmmm what's going on here?

I use the touch pad. No problems so far.

William,
I'll try using touch pad (likely a little difficult to play games). However, many people use mouse without problems leh.

I think you just need time for your hand to heal from the use of the wrist rest.

I don't really believe that the table height or whatever is the culprit as you've been using that for months without issue. Just let your wrist and right hand rest from its 'traumatic experience'. Once its okay, then start using the mouse as normal. If the pain doesn't come back, you're fine again.

Try not to seek immediate cures, remember?

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
