I don't know how far along your carpal tunnel is, but massage can prevent it. maybe it can help it too, even though you have it. deep tissue/therapeutic massage. the muscles around the median nerve should be kept supple and loose and relaxed to not squeeze down on it.  it saved me and many others.  I maintain with once a month treatments. it can be expensive, but what are you willing to sacrifice, is the question.  hope this helps.  :) 

I've been working in the office lately and the wellness department and employee health offer massages to employees and you can use payroll deduction to pay.  It's something like $10 for a 15 minute chair massage and $30 for a 30 minute table massage.  For the 15 minute massage, I could take a 15 minute break and run up and get a massage! 

Maybe I'll give it a try.  Maybe even worth a drive in once or twice a month for a massage when I'm back working at home!

I helped my son out with his paper route the other morning because he was sick with a temp of 102.  I'm walkng around, almost done with the papers, heading home, birds are singing, sun is starting to shine and then, ALL OF A SUDDEN, VAROOOOOOOM!!!  About 4 cars go whizzing by, almost running me over, oblivious to their surroundings, obviously late for work again.  Checked my watch and it was 5:45 a.m.  6 o'clock shift running late again.  Can't get their Dunkin Donuts and make it to work on time unless they drive like a bat out of h...l.

I just laughed and laughed and thought, "Well geeeee, it stinks to be you doesn't it?  Now why don't you take time out to fill up with GASOLINE!"  HEE HEE!

I don't know why people are in such a hurry lately.  Why don't they just set their alarms 15 minutes earlier for Pete's sake?  I was taking my older son to work one morning and was at a red light at a very busy, accident prone, intersection.  The light turned green.  I always take a quick look left and right before going through the green light and I didn't even have time to glance to the left before the "A" behind me laid on his horn.  Of course then I got funny and drove like a granny, just to make him mad.  He ended up finding space to pass on the right and he gave me the finger.

I love my Belkin, mostly because it's one of the only keyboards with a "right 6" - for those of us who use our right index finger to touch the "6" key.  After typing for 30 years, I can't switch now!

And strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for dessert...wow hungry now!

Some of us are heavy patriots, sons and daughters of America, but do not like what's going on in D.C.  It's as simple as that.  They are tapping 100,000+ Americans.  Do you really believe that one-third of our country is involved with terrorists?  Doubtful.....not even half that number.  This administration simply TAKES advantage at every turn...in every nook and cranny that they can.

They are the reason the work force across the USA is highly upset, doesn't matter which state, which city, nobody is a happy camper in the regular work force today in the USA.  I blame D.C.

Yes, GOD Bless the men and women who would fight for us to keep us FREE throughout history.  And I will bless the men and women who are fighting today in Iraq

....but know it's over oil....do not delude yourself. 

Just one person's opinion......we were ALL duped...approval rating as of yesterday and this includes everyone, whether reps or dems, was 29%....

I found a great one!  My needs were pretty basic:  I wanted one with an ergo design, detachable wrist rest, clicky keys, the #6 on the left, adjustable height, and a good price! 

I found these two sites.  The first describes the keyboard better, but the second sells it much cheaper:

I ordered it Friday, it came on Wednesday, I plugged it in, and I'm totally, completely loving this thing! 

I saw the post below and looked at the Kinesis Classic keyboards.  Wow, they are very different looking.  I wonder how long it takes to get used to working with one of these...

What ergo keyboard do you like?

How long did it take to get used to it?

Any advantages over other keyboards?

How long until my wrists and hands stop hurting?

I'm seriously debating making this investment, but I have on idea where to start.  Thanks so much for taking the time to help.

Kinesis Ergonomic Keyboard.  Newest technology, a MTs dream.  Feels like a cadillac when compared with other keyboards.  Purchased 10/2006, excellent condition.  Paid $350, will sell for $290--like new.  Adaptation exercise book.  Retired as MT.   Follow this link to review benefits:

I just bought one on Amazon.com (it should be here on Friday).  Just wondering what you all think of it?  I really liked my MS ergo elite keyboard, so I wonder if I'll be disappointed by trying to save a few bucks.

Thanks for your feedback! :)

shift key on the righthand side of the keyboard.  I keep hitting the keys beside or below it.  Do you eventually get used to it?  Right now I am looking at the Goldtouch and the Kinesis Maxium.   Would appreciate anyone's input. 

If someone has used this or anything similar and could give me some advice, it would be much appreciated!    Thanks so much!
