About a year ago, I made the switch from QWERTY to Dvorak. It was frustrating, and on more than one occasion I found myself questioning my decision; I struggled to keep up in work, in conversations, and with my thoughts. I wondered if I’d ever type at a reasonable speed again.
I’m happy to discover that I’m finally almost back to my QWERTY speed and accuracy!*
i want to go to there. 
You have my respect! Have you noticed a difference – repetitive strain wise – using Dvorak since this post?
Thanks! I haven’t had wrist pain in awhile, but hard to know if switching to Dvorak contributed to that, or if it’s a result of the sum of all my ergonomic efforts.
