No, I do have carpel tunnel syndrome. I had to go to a neurologist who told me I had it but its mild right now. He stuck some electrobe needle things on my wrists and did some pressure tests. I also got a MRI and have a herniated disk in my neck too but I think thats going away.

My carpel tunnel is a strange case though cus its in both wrists evenly and it started/developed at work. My work doesn't really consist of the same repetitive movements like typing on a computer or working on an assembly line. But I do use my hands a whole lot, usually twisting and turning shit. They actually locked up and I couldn't use them for like an hour and thats why I had to go home. I had no idea what it was until it got up to that point.
 
I think I know how I got it though. Like I said in that medical thread I think I have ADHD and its causing me to work myself to injury. I don't do it all the time only when I feel I have to work harder to get something done or am around lazy ass motherfuckers (alot of the time). I got a high tolerance for pain and I don't feel the onset of the injury until it fucks me up and then its too late. I did the same kind of thing about a year ago but I pulled a muscle inside of my abdomen. I couldn't really tell what was wrong with me at first because I'd just have alot of energy out here and then go home and smoke myself to some level of normalcy. Thats why I'd smoke weed and spice all the time to help me calm down and slow my brain down (I think way too much out here about everything over and over again). I'm gonna try to see a personal physician though about it. I think I can tell my neurologist what I feel is the problem but my company and insurance is paying him to treat me and call to check up on whats goin on. So if I told him I smoked myself stupid everytime I got home so I could think on a normal level and need medication to mediate myself it might cause problems.

I think you need to see a psychiatrist regarding ADHD.

yeah I was trying to figure that out. A guy on here is kind of like me and has adhd and he said he got prescribed adderal and had to see both. I don't have a problem focusing though. I focus on many many things and handle it pretty well, my problem is the hyperactive part.

it's like CT but in my whole arm and shoulder. and I used an abbreviation bc I'm only typing w one hand u ass

I recently got an adult adhd diagnosis, it was mostly to get a prescription for amphetamine salts tho.

I had CT( it hink) one time on my senior year in high school. I always wake up with both pinkies numb and all the way to the elbow(sometimes also happens wen I'm in a prolonged time in front of pc). I have no idea why this happens and it's hard to make it 'go away'. Eventually I tried sleeping with straight arms lying straight so I won't (what's the term) sleep on it or put weight under other body parts. lol. it worked.

which did you go to? A psychiatrist or physician?

Its not like I want to take some pills or whatever all the time because the ones they're gonna give me are probably the kind I don't like taking anyways. But I honestly think I need something because I get worked up sometimes when I know someone is undefensibly being a dick to me and have trouble controlling myself, with that and when I work sometimes. So I could either end up permenantly damaged or locked up for jumping on some old salty asshole out here.

yeah I get it up to my elbow alot of the time too. The main problem I have is when my hands stop working because of it though. I can hardly even tell its there. Like I said I got a high tolerance for pain, I can't even really feel it like it hurts the only reason I can tell its still there sometimes is because it doesn't feel right like an uncomfort. Not because it actually hurts.

It was actually harder for the doctor to figure out exactly how severe I had it because of this. He said its just mild but I dunno man I was home a week before I got to see him and it pretty much got to the point to where I can barely feel it in like a night or two. I literally could not grip or use either of my hands the morning I left though.

The corrective bracers he gave me are falling apart though, when I wash them the stitching is coming loose and I dunno if they'll last long enough for me to finish out here. If they don't I'll just wait till I can't work anymore and get put back on disability till the surgery or whatever. I'll prolly need it anyways.

I slept on my shoulder last week and when I woke up it hurt like a motherfucker and I thought I broke my arm in my sleep. I think thats just one incident of me doing that though because it hasn't happened again.

which did you go to? A psychiatrist or physician?

first was my general doc, then i got referred to a psych for inattentiveness. my mind wanders often which makes it tedious for me to read which i do a lot of. i don't really eat them often but when i do they help me focus pretty damn well.

yeah I got to get a personal doctor when I get home and talk to him about it and see what he says first I think. Dude told me it might be hard to get prescribed anything because I don't already have my own doc but whatever if I got a problem and I'm paying the guy he should fix it right?

yikes, well at least you've got a control over it. maybe you want to hook up with anti-agin/functional medicine as maybe your healthproblems are a sympton of something else (hypothyroidism? methylation or poryluria or something similiar) but i can't really comment otherwise since idk what that your focus medicine is exactly. idk anything about your lab values either.
but there are people out there that cured their hyperanxiety and depression with supplementing just B6 vitamin and zinc (pyroluria) and welp most of medicine doesn't know or is against stuff like this. hypothyroidism causes anxiety depression fatigue and brainfog too so lol.


edit like this isn't doktor martini stuff, this is r.e.a.l as it gets with anatomy. medicine/health is bizarre and still largely unknown/controversial.

Today a mexican rigger had a heart attack (or sever chest pains) and I had to do HLO again so he could get a medivac.

And then after that I went and sat down waiting till about 4:40 to practice navigating the ship and fell asleep. Good day of work, except for the rigger I liked that guy I hope he's alright. Friggin' mexican pilots are assholes though. Everytime we have a helocopter coming they tell us the wrong time IE: the other day they told us about 5:30 which turned into 6:30 and today 20 minutes at 8:30 am for a guy suffering a heart attack turned into 11:30 that ended up to after 12. I'm so glad we never use helicopters except for emergencies.

Huh, looks like amphetamine salts are class B drugs in the UK. I thought maybe there would be some equivalent here and started hoping I could maybe go get some the next time I need to get some use out of my fucked head but the UK says no way.

controlled substances are still avaliable via prescription. I don't know about that one, but some of my painkillers last year have been class C and B, and my dad's on stuff like morphine which is class A. Though obviously if you go asking for them specifically, there's no chance of getting them as you'll sound like a druggie.

they generally do blood work before dishing out a prescriptions to check for thyroid problems


i eat a multivitamin+fish oil every day, eat well, and get plenty of exercise so i don't really think it's anything other than me being an absent minded neurotic who benefits from a lil speed every once in a while to get shit done

bonzy what is that about anxiety? I take a fish oil multi now but it doesn't have zinc. I'm depressed/brainfog too.

I exercise and eat well and drink lots of water. I never worry about limiting calories because I lose weight extremely easily and the only way I ever gain is by working out. rarely drink or do any drug, never smoke

dok people (mkk became one) wanna find some miracle diet but not have to exercise at all. mkk was trying the "paleolithic diet", which is eating high fat, lots of meat and few sugars (based upon the "natural" fantasy and a total misunderstanding of caveman diets, which typically consisted far more of fruits, nuts and berries than meats), tho didn't exercise much/at all. you really cannot emphasize the importance of exercise enough

probably. to their credit both mkk and dok weren't adults when they said those things and I have no idea if they still believe them

the idea of looking to earlier, more "innocent" or "natural" humans has existed throughout history tho, with the biggest booms being around the time of western industrialization, wwI, wwII and the atomic bomb (lead to modern environmentalism), and I guess the internet. whenever people start to perceive humans as destroyers of the planet/other humans you apparently get a retaliation that manifests itself in various forms. eg you can clearly observe these trends just by studying the history of landscapes and gardens, from stowe to olmsted to jekyll to steele to halprin
