My Shift and Control keys get stuck sometimes during scripts

[Aro2220]

I have a script that remaps part of my keyboard:

#Include <Misc.au3> 

HotKeySet("E", "EKey")

Func EKey()
Send("{BACKSPACE}")
Send("=")
Send("-")
Send("7")
Send("-")
EndFunc

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll") 
While 1     
    Sleep (10)     
        If _IsPressed("57", $dll) Then         
            Send("{, down}")         
            Send("{. down}")         
            While _IsPressed("57", $dll)             
                Sleep(10)         
            WEnd         
            Send("{, up}")         
            Send("{. up}")     
        EndIf 
WEnd

It works great 99% of the time. However, sometimes after using certain combinations the shift or control or alt keys will get stuck down.

I think it's because I have some hotkeys that are like Send("!\") in other hotkey'd functions. Is there some proper way to use the ! ^ and + send controls so that they don't screw up and hold down the shift/alt/control keys so you have to mash them on your keyboard to get them to unstick?
