Left-handed

Right hand started to tingle yesterday, and from some of you I know that's pretty ungood. So, trying to use left hand for most things for awhile. Will look into rearranging desk/laptop/keyboard soonish. Typing slower then, and handwriting is much slower unless I relax and write backwards *sigh*

Updated the last post with poll responses and a picture even, so have a look back there.

Wear a wrist brace when you sleep. It takes a while to work, but after a while the condition improves. I know from experience. I have it really bad. Sometimes I can't feel my hand at all. It's gotten better with the brace.

Wow, okay.

Recommend one? If you link to one, I'll just get it.

Any brace with a solid support in it would work. They're usually with the ace bandages and stuff.

This is similar to the one I have and it's working well for me so far. Before I started using it, my hand went numb just from a few clicks on the mouse. Now I go most of the day without numbness. It all has a lot to do with taking pressure off the nerve in your wrist. There are of course surgical options for it and I've known people who have done that and done very well with it. I use this because I can't afford surgery. I've had the problem since I was 16 and it always pops up if I go too long without taking care of it.

Sorry I was a no-show, as you know this hasn't been the most "normal" week for me. I do want to hang out soon. Let me know when would be good for you and either call me or yanno, get in touch somehow
