UGH!!

ok so

1) it is NOT NOT NOT a heart attack, for those of you that will think that first. I checked my pulse and it is a perfectly normal (for me at least) 108. no worries, REALLY, no worries.

2) I have taken about 4 ibuprofen in an effort to relax the muscles in case it is a pinched nerve....

The WTF of the situation is that the bottom half of my hand has mostly lost feeling on the left had side. it pretty much has numbness to the elbow... :( and I have tried to pop my back/shoulders/elbows/wrists/any other joints that might relate... and some pop, some don't, but nothing seems to help it. and my right hand is getting tingly, tho that could be from too much mouse work..

Kinda thinking it may be time for me to enlist Spydrman and the whacker and see if that won't help...

mostly I am just disheartened that I feel mostly ok and I am having this weird nerve problem. my life. *sigh*.

If we do fix it I will post an update.

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome...too much mouse work, sitting too long. Ice down your wrist and get a brace for when you work at the computer.

I would be more than happy to agree with this... *if* it were my working wrist, but it is the *other* hand that has the numbness. it isn't overworked. It isn't really worked much at all...

Staxxy you should really get yourself checked out. Kim had some numbness like that and it turned out really scary. I am not at liberty to talk about it here but send me and email and i will tell you.
please take this warning seriously!
