a few weeks ago, i thought i had carpal tunnel syndrome. pain coursing from the fingers all the way to about midway to the elbow, partiucularly at the wrist. i thought it was a combination of age, winter, having slept on it, and… too much time on the computer.

well, according to a harvard university study (and who dares challenge harvard, eh?), i may as well dismiss blogging as a culprit.

According to them, even as much as seven hours a day of tapping on a computer keyboard won’t increase your risk of this disabling disorder.

pain relievers won’t work against it, from your common ibuprofen to vioxx. but short of steroid injection and surgery, there’s one non-invasive therapy that might work: yoga.

so, repeat after me: ohhhhmmmmmm……. (mind the cupped hand. that’s probably how it’s supposed to work!)
