Good luck CMAC, the combination of the IB and the wrist strap will alleviate the symptoms quickly...don't sweat it and listen to your doctor.

Thanks bro. I'm telling you, I was thinking real hard on going to the math teacher option for a while (2 more years of college -- oh well, there is the babe factor
In fact, I really ought to look seriously at that). It was painful to throw wadded up paper into the trash with my right arm there for awhile.
I use the mouse with my left hand now, I could really feel it starting to hurt when I'd use my right hand. Typing doesn't seem to bother it. My doctor doesn't think it's carpal tunnel however.
I bought a jumbo Walgreens bottle of Ib., 200 mg is all you can get, and four of those go down easier than the big horse pills. I'm going back to three 800mg. doses a day w/o fail. Only about $.36 a day, so not bad.
I'm going to check out the wrist strap you mentioned.
And, I'm going to be a nail pounder til I die.
Yeah, right.
