RSI-Relief

RSI Hell is a personal blog subtitled “Life with Repetitive Strain Injury”. Here’s what the author has to say about it:

This blog is about my life and many struggles with Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). I live in Nottingham, England and try to be as candid as possible. I will name and shame companies that treat me badly and products that simply don’t work.

I maintain this blog entirely using voice recognition and so you might see some mistakes. I do keep going back, sometimes after weeks to correct errors in posts. I write directly into the blog, often very quickly when I feel most passionate and sometimes accuracy suffers as a result.

This blog is well worth following, with good suggestions, insightful commentary, and often brutal honesty.

Optical Express Review - June 28th, 2009

Hucknall Aerodrome - June 20th, 2009

Dodgy Brain - May 10th, 2009

RSI 2009 - April 27th, 2009

Ogston Reservoir - April 25th, 2009

"Ogston is a village close by to a reservoir and sewage plant in Derbyshire. It can be quite smelly but nothing like as stinky as Stoke Bardolph which is quite bad. In the past I would shut my windows when passing through the area since it smelt worse than 10,000 […]"

Enta.net - March 28th, 2009
