***I Think I Need To Put On Some Mittens***

dear kashmeresmycat, love your cat in pic!!what i would do, and which works for me is i have a barstool next to my computer desk, there my 3 female cats take turns sitting next to me while i'm at the computer. their fur is so soft that it warms my hands...so no mittens...lol,lol...i had carpel tunnel syndrome very acute, when i lived in florida in a brand new house i bought there, it was sickening that disease, i began to think or does anyone out there know that there was something in the brand new house building that was bothering me to cause this. when i moved from that state to new york it went into remission and i never got it again, knock on wood. so i am so glad that i did not submit myself to sugery for it as it took care of itself, and went into remission....stanzi

Hi my friend I had carpel tunnel and I had the surgery on one wrist that was 6 years ago and it worked. Ive havent had a problem. But my fingers do get cold but thats on both hands so no I dont think thats from carpel tunnel. If your having pain in your wrist real bad and dropping everything then you might have it. There is a test they give you to see if you have it or not.

I don't have Carpal Tunnel, just really poor circulation, and in the winter, my hands do get could sitting in front of my computer working, even if I keep the heat cranked up high. I have some of those fingerless gloves (the ones that are open on the end) and those are great.

It might be kinda fun watching you try to type real words with mittens on!! My Mother and aunt both had the surgery it has helped for years. Mom decorates wedding cakes and squeezes an icing bag over 40 hrs a week. But her surgery took care of one wrist and it's been many years.

Just maybe an idea. If your hands get cold, get mittens, but cut the tips off, it'll allow you to still type but keep most of your hands warm I used to have carpel tunnel bad..of course people would say from computer work..bologna! Any repetitive type work with ones hands can trigger it off including housecleaning (good excuse not to do so much..LOL). I have my own little ritual when I get a bout..I brew up sage, drain and chill it then cut up a paper towel, saturate it with the sage solution, but first apply that Miracle Ice stuff where it hurts, place the sage compress over it, then wrap my hand and wrist like a mummy with one of those stretchy bandages, forget the exact name. Usually I "heal" in just a day, sometimes even less. Thankfully I haven't had a bout of it in a LONG time though. But, oh yes it can be SOoo painful..I have to wing it one-handed.

it is good
