Thanks both of you for responding...
And here's an update.

I went to the doctor earlier today. *sighs* (My hand swelled up yesterday and was completely numb)

My diagnosis is carpal tunnel and tendonitis (sp?) in my left wrist (my writing one, yay) and mild carpal tunnel in my right. I went and got some wrist/hand braces/splints, man do they ever hurt!!! I'm also popping Advil, just like my doctor suggested.

We both had a good laugh over the recommendation to let my wrists rest... I can't. I have to wheel!

If they get any worse, I am going to a PT. (Even though I hate them more than doctors... I had a bad experience with one).

Thanks
