I developed intermittent carpal tunnel syndrome in my twenties and was able to keep it at bay for many years through taking additional B 6 (along with a balanced B complex vitamin). My dad, a physician who always scoffed at my use of dietary supplements, reported excitedly to me a couple of years ago that his doctor had recommended B 6 for my father's carpal tunnel syndrome and it seemed to work. I told him I'd been taking it for years. However, recently that hasn't been enough, and especially after I've done a lot of mousing my hand gets painful. Using a splint at night when needed took care of the numbness I was experiencing, and really made a big difference, but right now I'm wearing a splint for most other things, probably because of too much computer time. That seems to cause pain rather than numbness, neither of which is much fun.

I'm going to copy out those exercises, Tom, and try them. They seem similar but more thorough than some that a spinner at a craft show taught me when I told her why I gave up spinning.
