Man, these are nothing. I'm better at writing with my feet than my hands.

Up to age 11 I had officially the worst handwriting in the school. :lol: I didn't care, I was also the best at maths.

I have pretty good handwriting, but it came from years of practice.

Some old notes of mine from college...

My hand writing is similar. Has the uncomfortable feel to it. Though mine is a bit messier

I also tend to make tons of mistakes, so there will be scribbled out bits all over the place. Hand is to slow to keep up with the brain so I write too fast to try to keep up.

Those are notes I made from a book. I had the time to slow my brain down to write it legibly.

But yeah... writing has always been uncomfortable for me. It's awkward.

I was always amazed at how sore my wrist would get when writing. Sometimes, after long lectures in college where I would take a lot of notes, I felt like I had to ice it down

My hand hurts within the first couple of sentences, but my entire arm hurts within a few paragraphs, and I recently had to fill out a 12-page form and both arms hurt, and pain had spread to my shoulders as well.

I never thought there was anything odd about it until I looked up dysgraphia and saw that pain while handwriting was unusual.

Have you ever had people try to minimize the pain as irrelevant or try to explain it away as something else?

I don't have to hand write much these days, but when I used to do it a lo,t the pain would start in my fingers, move up through my hand (pretty intense by then), & sometimes travel all the way to my elbow. By the time the pain moved to my elbow, it was excruciating. I could keep writing & ignore it for a while (if it was in my fingers & hand), but once it was to my elbow, I had to stop.

My third grade teacher actually got angry at me because of my poor handwriting skills, despite trying my best (this was... disheartening). After practicing even more i got up to scratch, but it was never as nice as the other children's.

Skip ahead 20 years, and as you can see i've pretty much given up on aspirations of calligraphy:

I can read that, but not easily. It helps that i remember what i wrote. :oops:
