I don't know how bad your hand is but I am trying the above for as long as I can. I also have a mouse pad with the raised wrist part because I am on computer a lot due to my job. It helps...
As far as your dr. I would find another, no doctor should cancel as many times or make you wait hrs. Sorry there are plenty of mds out there.. Good luck.

Thanks for telling me, I will try the Vitamins, I got out my wrist splints last night and slept with it, will keep doing that. Mine is in the left hand and I am right handed. My friends thought it was due to me on the computer so much using the mouse.
This hit me so fast, started itching so bad between my ring and little finger, but the itch was deep down so that there was no relief. Then it started tingeling, then numb, some sharp pains that go up to my elbow. Lost strength, tried to pick up a salad bowl and dropped it. Is yours that bad?
If not, guess I will make a Dr's appt.
Thanks again.
