I couldn't live without mine, and many of my writer friends use them as well. Those of us who write all day but have back problems find the best solution is in changing positions every few hours. Personally, I rotate between a regular desk, a standing desk, a treadmill desk, an easy chair desk, and working as I'm lying down. As long as I remember to make the switch consistently, I'm fine. You can see several of my desks, including my treadmill desk, at http://www.mindystarnsclark.com/myoffice1.pdf. Hope that helps! Hi Bill, have you considered a treadmill desk?

But if you Google ergonomic chairs (images) you'll probably find it. And if you do, please do report back. I want to give them credit. And wish I had a chair like that, too! And a big enough studio to accommodate it. You know, I’m not sure anymore. But if you Google ergonomic chairs (images) you’ll probably find it. And if you do, please do report back.

I do medical transcription all day and would also love to have someone buy me such a desk/chair. Ergoquest also makes zero-gravity chairs/desks that are made to fit.

I practiced Yoga three times a week for 3 years and I have been pain free going on 6 years.... whatever works!

I think I would be too much like Mrs. Huh-Wiggins from the Carol Burnett show! I never learned short hand or even had a proper typing class. I am the slowest typist ever. Very sad for an aspiring writer. My husband, who is a finance guy types three times as fast as I do-- I find that quite depressing. I'll ask him what he's doing Tuesdays and Thursdays... :-) In the meantime glad to find that the innervation to the funny bone is completely in tact in your case. Carry on and more wishes for a speedy and smooth recovery, Libby Ha! I think I would be too much like Mrs. Huh-Wiggins from the Carol Burnett show!
