Carpal Tunnel…

Well, I woke up this morning, got ready for work, got my son ready to go to daycare, and realized that my left wrist hurt every time I moved my hand or fingers in a certain way…So, I went to the Dr.  My doc told me that I am developing carpal tunnel syndrome.  She said it is common in pregnant women, and then she gave me a brace to wear for the duration of my pregnancy.

It sucks because I do nothing but type stuff at work, I change diapers and make bottles at home, and I rarely ever do anything new or different with my hands…I pretty much have the same routine every day.  My doc told me that I am kind of on the bad end of having Carpal Tunnel, because not only am I pregnant, but my job consists of mostly typing, and I have an almost 7 months old infant…So, all around, it sucks that my wrist has started hurting.

Oh, and to top it off, I have been getting progressively worse headaches.  Each day they get a little worse and a little longer than the day before.  So, the doc gave me some pregnancy safe migraine medicine…Problem is, I have to take the medicine at the onset of the headache, not after it gets bad…I hardly ever notice that I have a headache until it gets really bad, so that in itself is the problem…Also, the meds have a tendency of making people that take it dizzy, so I can’t take it at work, or before I drive somewhere, so the times that I can take it are limited anyway…

I will probably just stick to taking Tylenol…

So, that’s it…until next time, Happy Blogging!!!
