Make me laugh and what great medicine!!!!! Love the blender / powder / evil

stories... keep 'em coming... my whole family is in a quandary as to why I

sit and laugh in the corner all alone ;-)

As to those who " guessed " carpel tunnel on the tingling finger question --

HA -- same wrist is going into full blown pain again -- ya' got it... too

much time on/at the keyboard (but that's my job!) So, I'm back to pecking

with one hand, grateful for spell check and reading a lot more than

replying...

Have you tried wearing a hand brace for the carpal tunnel? I had it bad in

both my hands when all 3 of my were under 5 yrs. They put me in half casts

and said to rest them for a week. HA! I immediately took the casts off and

went to buy braces for both hands. They really help. Try sleeping in them

too. After your hand stops hurting, slowing begin exercising your wrist to

make them stronger. Here, more than 10 yrs later, I still exercise them and

it helps. Listen to your body as well. If your wrist begins to hurt...STOP

whatever you are doing. Give it a rest for a couple of days and wear the

brace whenever you need to do what made the pain in the first place.

Please do these steps. My husband now, was told there was nothing they could

do for his carpal tunnel syndrome about the same time as I began having

problems. (We had not met and were living in two different worlds.) He just

continued on, dealing with the pain, swollen wrists, numbness and everything

that goes with it. He now has permanent nerve damage! This could have been

prevented!
