Hello good people of A2OC,
My apologies that I've been rather absent recently. A few years ago, I started to have occasional difficulties with pain in my hands and wrists, which would invariably be worst when typing, using a smartphone, etc. More recently, the pain extended up my arms, over my shoulders, down my back, etc. As such, I've been off work for the last 6 weeks or so and haven't been online much at all.
I'm pleased to say that, after a few specialist hospital appointments, the issue seems to have been found: I have trapped nerves in my neck, which are tricking my brain into thinking I hurt in places where there's actually nothing wrong. Of course, a diagnosis doesn't cure the problem, but it's a start.
I wouldn't normally post about such things online, but I wanted to give you all an explanation for my absence. I have received countless messages asking for advice and/or my A2 upgrade/retrofitting services, but have often not been able to reply. I have also had public recommendations for my work that went without acknowledgement, which seems impolite and ungrateful.
Whilst I'm not yet back at work, I hope it won't be too long until I'm back to my usual activities. I'll do my best to get PMs answered and your A2s upgraded as soon as I can.
Many thanks for your patience and best wishes,
Tom
