This should be the tale of my thirtieth year.

I broke myself

Slept very badly last night. Woke up what seemed like every fifteen minutes to see if my wrists were bent. Why may you ask was I doing this? Four women I know here have carpel tunnel or some such thing. These kinds of things would ruin my career before it even got started. Yesterday both my hands/wrists, especially the right, were in a whole heap of pain. I had read that bending them in one's sleep makes the situation much worse.

Today I did not pick up A-man much, tried to avoid typing, didn't lift too much, and bought wrist braces (mostly so I would get more sleep). Aren't they pretty? S and I went shopping most of the afternoon/evening. Before we went out we had a frank discussion about our clash of personalities that sometimes comes up.

I haven't felt bad today, but I have felt weird. I think I need professional help. I have a repeated pattern of wanting what I can't have...making that choice, and it is bad.

Welcome Cgrace! I wish you all could have been here today! You might have talked me into buying this! Oh, and I wish I was around for the bonkarama!

Well I always think a hat and scarf are sound purchases. I would highly resommend that you look for a trigger point therapist. The massage therapist I started seeing due my wrists has been doing this on me and I can't believe how much is has helped. My wrist is so much better than is was last winter and spring. Also I wake up with really sore wrists and have worried that it is how I am sleeping but I think a lot of times it is just that your body tends to get stiff while you are sleeping and if you have a boo-boo it increases your awareness of it.
Hope you feel better soon
