Hi, all.  I've been having weird pains, like cramps in my right hand.  It's not consistent - the pains come and go through the day.  It started this weekend, after I had a severe allergy attack to the dogs at a friend's house.  I also seem to have a mild sinus infection.  I'm left-handed, so it can't be overuse or something like that, can it?  Should be concerned about this?

I say mouse or trackpad overuse.

I say mouse or trackpad overuse.

But I'm guessing if the OP is lefthanded, they mouse/trackpad with their left hand, not right.

Actually, and I can't believe I never noticed this before, I tend to use the trackpad on my laptop with my right hand.  Which is weird, because I definitely use my left hand for everything else.  Marigolds, I've been working a lot on the laptop since I have two major grad school assignments due, so I bet you're right!  At least, it's far better than thinking I have contacted some rare disease.
