DOesn&#8217;t bother me too much with my typing, but lack of accurate sensation (eg, if extracting a small pill from a bottle in days past, I couldn&#8217;t tell how many pills I had in my fingers, but I could tell that I had *something* there)&#8212;has made typing error-ridden.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, (bad pun) I have days when I just have to get something done and charge ahead anyway. And it can mean a day of pain with the hands.<\/p>\n<p>To counter this I take a little Advil at night, plus a slew of vitamins and minerals, and slather my hands with CBD cream (hemp, not the intoxicating substance)combined with stuff to fight dryness. And lately a vitamin K cream. And of course the exercise I get typing is there, too. <\/p>\n<p>Just the last few days I have waked with half my left hand feeling fairly normal (the worst are thumb, index finger and second finger) &#8212;and this morning the right hand also felt pretty good. Typing is certainly easier with something more like sensation in all fingers&#8212;even the ones that aren&#8217;t good are better.<\/p>\n<p>So while this condition can last forever, there&#8217;s some indication that I&#8217;m going to recover more than I have. and there&#8217;s a chance I might actually recover from it. My handwriting is near normal. If I could get the rest back I could sketch and play music again, and that would be a plus. Plus just being able to work with cold water and not have to warm my hands for an hour afterward. I have a nice little handwarmer, which helps, but improvement in circlation would be a real plus! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>..in my hands.
