Hi

I'm new to this forum, so hello to everyone.
I have been diagnosed with RA last year.

I wondered if anyone could give some advice on pens - I am a teacher and I am finding it difficult and painful to write.

I have looked at Dr Grip and Ezpen and the ones where you put you index finger through a hole.
Has anyone used any and could recommend?

My other problem is that while this will be great for black and blue ink, I mostly use red ink and is this possible?

thanks
Sara

    I like yoropens but, on the really rough days when I can't hold them, I use an ordinary pen employing a quill grip i.e. the barrel of the pen rests between my second and third fingers and my thumb underneath. DD
