I have a spot on my thumb and index finger worn so smooth it hurts all the time.

Might be your mouse. Try an ergonomic mouse

Make sure your forearms are going down instead of being parallel or god forbid, up. I also recommend a vertical mouse for the time being. Or if you’re swimming in it, an Mx master

Try this. Sit in a chair and rest your hands on your thighs comfortably. Try to find the most optimal hand placement where you experience zero strain. Where is your thumb? It should be facing towards you going up. Then think of your palm placement when you use your computer mouse. Where is your thumb now? Definitely not up I’d imagine.

Add that with the forearm being in an unnatural position/angle for long periods of time and you have a recipe for disaster.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome.

Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way
