Re: All in the mind

I absolutely fundamentally agree that all forms of mental and physical suffering should be taken seriously by doctors. However, I think that conditions which are entirely psychosomatic are, in practice, less likely to be taken seriously than conditions which have a genuine physiological aspect. That's why I'm pleased that RSI is viewed more as being physiological rather than being 'in the mind'. I'm not saying that it oughtn't to be treated properly if it were entirely psychosomatic, I'm saying that I think it's less likely that it would be.

Are RSI sufferers especially blasé about it? Not in my experience. In my small company of about 25 people, we have two RSI sufferers including myself. Both of us try to be quite sensible about it, e.g. we have software installed that reminds us when to micro-pause, when to take breaks, etc.
