   Yes.  After using a mouse for an extended period, my entire hand goes
numb and tingly.  When using the mouse, I am resting the weight of my arm
exactly on the bottom side of my wrist.  I guess it cuts off circulation or
something.  If I do it TOOOO long, the numbness travels all the way to my upper 
arm.
