The author of this book is in one of the Case Studies. She went through all the agony and depression mentioned by all the participants. She spent years fighting the D.S.S. for compensation and finally received it, back paid. She changed her career, no longer types for a living and manages to cope with her everyday activities. So, bad as it is, there is hope of recovery if people try and take good care of themselves and change their old habits. We must start looking after ourselves, taking life easy and thinking of new ways of living, including asking for help when it is needed.
We must all fight for better working conditions, as recommended by the European Union.
Although some of these stories were written years ago, nothing much has changed so we must keep pushing for proper diagnosis and compensation.
The author went through many trials and tribulations over the course of the first five years after getting R.S.I., trying to get compensated and get back to some kind of normal life.
During this time she wrote countless letters to try and get the plight of sufferers known, visited the House of Lords and the House of Commons, got someone to record The R.S.I. Song, started up two support groups and fought for her compensation.
She followed the instructions she read in an Australian journal about resting asjnuch as possible and managed to get herself practically better and able to type on and off. With enough time and tenacity it is possible to get compensated and restored to some kind of health, provided the illness is caught in time and not ignored. Alternative medicine seems to have many of the answers with regards to getting, if not entirely better, than at least improved.
However, R.S.I. does need to be taken extremely seriously, particularly as many young people are now getting ill from using mobile phones and computer games.
