Kind of sucks. I get joint/muscle pain very easily from doing certain movements. I had to give up Warhammer miniature painting because I get pain in my wrist. I can play games on the computer but I often have to take breaks or my fingers hurt (which isn’t a bad thing, breaks are good anyway).
Anyone get this side effect form medications?
Did you try wearing hand braces when you do these activities? You can buy them online for less than $10. They are like supportive gloves. I have arthritis and when I do my crafts the gloves are very useful.
Thanks for the tip, I may order some!
Is the thing that they keep your wrist locked in a neutral position?
I found this one in my country. Does it look good?

You could try those but those are more for your wrists. You want gloves that help the joints in your hands, too.
I can’t walk more than 2 miles due to risperidone pain. i used to love camping and hiking in the mountains of Wales.
Bummer isn’t it?
I feel your pain. It doesn’t feel good when you have health problems and especially when they affect your ability to do things you like.
Yes indeed. I’v got problems with focusing remembering problem solving aswell as motivational.problems.
I am suffering from hand tremors of slowly increasing intensity. It is a bugger as I prefer to do hand-held photography, but I am compensating by using monopods and tripods more. Just got to be willing to adapt.
Parkinsonison type symptoms??
Most likely non-genetic Parkinson’s Disease, but the diagnosis isn’t formal. It’s not TD - that was ruled out.
hi @labratmat .as far as i know you use risperidone.i read an article that risperidone very effective against delusions.unfortunately i m in trouble with delusions.my paranoia under control but still i m believing that people communicates unconciously via energyfields.its affect my motivation and thoughts lot.my question is how is your delusions if you have any.does risperidone helps.if helps how much risperidone help your delusions.if 1 mg helps i will talk with my pdoc about that to change my 3mg invega with 1 mg risperidone
I’ve been to Swansea, Cardiff and Pontypridd. Wales is really pretty. Never been to the mountains though.
Hope you can go hiking again one day!
My delusions are under control. For me it is just the side effect of the risperidone that bothers me.
Each med affects everyone differently. What works for one may not work for another.
Risperidone is one of the more powerful ones, and you’ll just have to speak to the doc about it I’m afraid.
When it comes to delusions my opinion is unusual. Take it or leave it, but here are a few examples:
Give up what you think you know. If you go down the rabbit hole of religious or alien delusions, spirits etc Stop! Just look at the world scientifically. Learn what the different symptoms and signs of schizophrenia are including the idea of the various common delusions are. Learn about delusions of reference and thinking in knight moves are. If you have voices give up the belief that it is supernatural and it is simply a misfiring of neurons and you only hear what you expect to hear. If you have visual hallucinations ground yourself and stop thinking it is magical or otherworldly.
Know that you are ill and learn to recognise the symptoms so you can ground yourself about it and can come back to the real world. Know that you are not ‘special’ in any way for you to be some super important protagonist in an imaginative story. Let go of all that nonsense.
If you do this then living with sz is a lot easier. 
thank you for your brief post regarding the issue @labratmat .i can not believe that people not use these type of communication.its just impossible.my thoughts are undercontrol.its change by society trends change.maybe my social class thoughts changing.idk.why im thinking different 10 years ago.my antagonist thought changing during time and sometimes lost.weird.does it same thoughts affect society via these energy fields.idk.its weird.i really want to try risperidone.
If you want life ot be easier then give up thoughts of ‘energy fields’ altogether. Forget about it.
Live your life and stop ruminating on life’s meaning, what you here for, what others are here for etc.

Then I’m lost 
I don’t mind thinking about those things but I don’t share it on the forum since it’s pseudoscience.
Could be from long term antipsychotic useage.
I’m sorry to hear, hopefully it doesn’t have a substantial progression. Appreciate you as a person and your humor, look after yourself.
