Hi have looked at the physical esa guides about manual dexterity, and I am a little confused. I have Rhumatoid Arthrtis, and it has affected my hands and writis mainly. I am suffering with weakness, fatigue, and pain and stiffness with this, it is exhausting and painful to use the fingers on the keyboard to do this, and i would not be able to repeat it realibly. Am like this with turning pages in book, etc holding a pen, if i go into detail mentioning all this. Also can be in the middle of holding something and would have to stop because no grip or extreme pain and weakness. It is hard to describe when it is happening. Just know it is having massive impact on every day activites to do anything.
Hi P,
The best advice that I could give, is to go into detail about how and when/how often, the resulting limitations from your medical conditions effect you, with respect to the questions in the ESA50, and the qualifying ESA Descriptors.
