Link might not be relevant for me, only been doing OT for a couple months, before that had an EMG done and nerve damage was shown to exist.

Yeah, I had multiple EMGs done on both hands. Nerve damage in both. You know when you're doing an EMG and it is supposed to raise up super fast and then drop down super fast in a very thin inverted V? Well mine was a plateau of a couple inches wide, that's how much nerve damage I had.

It's been over 8 years since I've had a symptom of carpal tunnel syndrome though. I type 130 words per minute and probably type the equivalent of a novel per week (I do a lot of SEO stuff in my side gigs) and never have a problem.

If you really want to learn what's causing your problems - get Healing Back Pain by John Sarno or The Mindbody Prescription (same author). Check this 20/20 segment out from several years ago - I can't find the original Google Video version that I watched, this seems to be a substitute:

It's not "in your head". It's real physical problems. It's not "not applicable" to you because you have real physical issues that show up on tests.

Or, just ignore what I've said and carry on.



Eating two pieces of toast for breakfast is no way to live. Eating them while driving and you've given up.


The toast that can be eaten in the car is not the true toast. That is at best, previously warmed soggy buttered bread.

I feel a Neil Stephenson level discursive diversion coming on, complete with descriptions of the proper feel of toast on the roof of the mouth as the butter softens, but doesn't eliminate the sharp pointy bits, but it's late, and I should be paying attention to my wife while the kids manage to sleep.

(((Thank gnu that the kids sleep now. 7 years of one of them waking up every. single. night. gets very old. )))


Tell us, oh wise one, how we may enter Breakfast Nirvana with you. Teach us, oh enlightened Breakfast Master, how to enter into the Kingdom of Breakfast Heaven.

I eat two pieces of toast in the morning for breakfast because I want to eat two pieces of toast in the morning for breakfast. Just like I haven't eaten red meat in 26 years because I don't like red meat. I am not starving myself, I am not sacrificing my tastes, I am eating exactly what I want to eat.

Should I list other things I enjoy doing that happen to be healthful that you can disparage?
