Has anyone with lupus experienced this?
My condition is very stable but whenever I try to write with a pen even just 3–4 sentences i get pretty intense pain in my hand and my handwriting also gets progressively worse the longer I write.
I usually have to stop and take a 10–15 minute break before I can continue, and even then the pain is still there bc of that I’ve started avoiding writing altogether.
I’m wondering if this is something other people with lupus experience, or if I’m just overthinking it the thing is, I barely write by hand anymore maybe once a month, or even once every couple of months so I don’t know if it’s just because I’m out of practice or if it could actually be related to lupus.
Has anyone else dealt with this?
