Cheating Carpal Tunnel/BF's Vax Side Effects Return
4 years ago
Hey everyone,
I've been suffering from carpal tunnel in both wrists since Febrary, and being unable to draw,
text, type, cook, etc has been really hammering me down along with the quarantine.
I discovered that by jamming my tablet pen into my wrist brace and placing my tablet
upright as if it were a canvas on an easel, I've been able to (slowly) digitally color!
It has been extremely therapeutic to create again and be a part of my fandom in some way.
Also I make sure to do A LOT of stretching, that has been absolutely instrumental.
I make sure to place my phone onto something, and not hold it while using it.
I just have to relearn how to do things but not use my thumbs, and I wear my wrist braces 24/7.
I'm hanging in there.
My boyfriend's vaccination side effects continue to come back a week after they recede.
It's basically been an ebb and flow of side effects for 22 weeks now.
I took him to urgent care last Sunday for the 6th time since this all started in March.
I was not allowed to go with him past the waiting room because of Covid restrictions, and I just broke down sobbing.
He's back home now, but is exhausted and sleeping 20+ hours a day.
BTW THIS IS NOT ME SAYING TO NOT GET VACCINATED!
MY BF & I FEEL EVERYONE SHOULD GET VACCINATED.
THIS IS JUST A 1-IN-2-MILLION CHANCE & WE WANT TO HELP OTHERS GOING THRU THE SAME THING.
One lining of hope is we got this from our online medical care team:
"Sorry for the delay. I heard from Neurology. It sounds like this could be a post vaccine reaction which the neurologic symptoms will resolve with time."
So for me I'm just hoping this won't last into next year.
We're managing things a day at a time, but...the stress and cracks are beginning to show.
Being able to "draw" again has been a much-need morale booster.
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
I am loved.
I am not alone.

And he's contacted the CDC, but it was pretty much a "thank you for submitting your results" kind of thing. We feel we're pretty much on our own in this.
Anyway...I just want some things to be in place but the lockdown be over with...
At least there are some nice hope for both, which is fantastic
We're definitely doing our best to get through this. My boyfriend has had this amazing positivity and willpower I have never seen in a person before.
