zombie infection causing real-world symptoms

Recommended Posts

I can no longer play project zomboid.

 

It all started with a scratch on the hand.

 

Soon after, the scratch began to affect me in real life; the infection is leaking into the outside world.

 

First the pain. Mostly in the index finger. It began to effect my ability to combat zombies and slowed my reaction time. I grit my teeth and ignored it. The anxiety is rising. The pain hasn't subsided.

 

I want to click things, but I cannot. Perhaps I will take a few days without clicking any zombies.

 

tldr: zombie scratches cause carpal tunnel

I use to have issues playing on the keyboard. I treated myself to a Razer Tarturus just to play this game, Red Orchestra and Mass Effect. It's a great device when set up and also has a handy thumb controller for moving.

Sometimes when i start playing a game that is heavy in the keyboard i get some hand and wrist aches.

Mind you that these wouldn't have happened if i hadn't been playing too much in the first place.

 

Anyway, they go away within a day as my previously unworked muscles start to develop.

 

Have some nimesulide and pain killers if it really bothers you.

 

I would also recommend SSRI's and some measure of alprazolam for the...other issues.
