I have bilateral CTS and ulnar nerve compression at both wrists (I'm a computer programmer). I also read a lot, and I've noticed that reading (holding the book) hurts my hands and arms a good deal, too. To try to lessen the strain on my hands, I've tried sitting at a table with the book on the table (but this isn't good for the back). I've also tried sitting with pillows in my lap to prop up the book. What do other people do? Are there any nifty gadgets out there that help with this kind of thing? ************************************************************************* Ellen Newman | You can name your own salary here -- LCS - Library Computing Services | I call mine Fred. ewn1@psuvm.psu.edu | - taken from a Ziggy cartoon ************************************************************************
