Very little pressure is needed to get the ink to flow. My hand is happier and my handwriting has improved since I made this discovery. Thought I'd pass it along.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Sierra, I do use the gel-pens. They're number 1 in my book!!!

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Cool , I knew there was a differance since i had to write alot on my ROs but just by the feel of my hands and fingers though. It's hard for my to write much. snowdrift52003 <snowdrift52003@...> wrote: Just thought I'd pass along something helpful I just discovered--GEL PENS are more arthritis-friendly than ballpoint pens.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I have noticed that is is easier for me to write with an oversized pen, you know the ones that much bigger around than a normal ballpoint.john stratton <kentuckycowboy2@...> wrote: Cool , I knew there was a differance since i had to write alot on my ROs but just by the feel of my hands and fingers though.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I use large or fat pens which help with the grip. It's more comfortable to write with. Bic just came out with big pens and they are targeting teachers and anyone who writes a lot. I bought one and I just love it. It has a soft grip on it also.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi Sierra: I also like the big easy grip pens, or you can buy grip pieces to put on your pens to make them easier to hold. Gel is great - my handwriting has definately taken a turn downward since my RA started, and anything to make it look better is a good thing.
