Hello again
Just an idea, but been sat thinking about keyboards, trying to imagine how you're feeling and what might help. They actually make keyboards that are actually just projectors, that project a keyboard outline in red onto your desk - they're not expensive (at least not here in the UK, which is normally a good sign!), the imagine they project is (I think) smaller than a normal keyboard, and all you have to do is touch the table where the right key is projected - you don't actually have to use any pressure to press keys etc.
Just an idea.
Ooh, also, if you have Windows XP I'm 99% sure you could set it up use voice recognition, which would keep typing to a bare minimum - you use the mouse to select where you want to type, and then just say what you want, it's pretty accurate too. All you'd need is a microphone.
Hope you start to feel better soon!

Good to hear from you. Glad the Enbrel is starting to help. Soon we can compare notes since I was finally able to locate it here and god-willing the approval letter from the insurance company in the next few weeks I should be good to start mid-June, July 1st at the latest. Instead it is acupuncture and massage therapy until that time. Currently we have taken me off everything...made me a bit nervous but the doctor seems to have a lot of confidence on the Enbrel being the solution. Course I still think that a Snicker's bar would be a better solution! Hmmm...maybe a slightly chilled Snickers on the back of the hands might loosen those joints up for you. 
I hope you have a great weekend! Enjoy your holiday.
-Michelle

YES!!! The mouse is just awful for me!! I've been "driving" with my left hand but thats getting as bad as the right!! I saw a mouse that was like the size of an egg that you hold in your palm and ckick with the palm muscles instead of fingers! I'm hoping to find a store that has it so I can try it first as it was $65.oo but so worht it if it will help!

Thanks Blondie! Luckily, very little of my "real" work is on the computer, its mostly my message boards and stuff but 5-10 minutes is all I can do before the pain is almost unbearable.

I was off line for the holiday weekend and have been swamped at work this morning. I haven't had time to look at keyboards or a new mouse so its still really hard to type so I'm having to limit my responses.
I had a party on Sunday and it was really nice to visit. I haven't seen several of the friends that were over in a while and they looked a little dumb founded when I would ask for help standing up or help with getting the food out or just limping around in general. They have all been told so I'm not sure what they were expecting but it sort of made me feel bad. But, I ate a bunch of food I shouldn't have and drunk WAY more than I should of and ended up having a pretty good time anyways. Didn't move off the couch yesterday and I'm way sore and swollen from over doing everything getting ready for the party but, I pretty much knew that was going to happen!  I'll try to post some pictures in the next day or two.
