I feel so defeated. This is so hard. All I need is a stupid referral to a specialist but I'm forced to go through GP first

Feeling numb. My husband and I called over 25 practices this morning looking for an appointment under my insurance. There's nothing soon.

Just feel so hopeless. Disturbed by how many people end up having surgery. I've never flared this bad before and it's both hands

I'm struggling going through hurdles w insurance & getting my doctor to refer me for my carpal tunnel. They aren'tgoing to help anytime soon

I cry thinking about my passed kitties when I hear this song. TW it's about the singer's dog who passed away. https://youtu.be/-MslxWxoubU

Have this stuck in my head https://youtu.be/sWmBqE7-a-k?si=0GUZLt73hXxE6Fbc

It's wild how quickly things can change.

We started watching Pantheon the day before. I'd watched it awhile back and really enjoyed it. I was enjoying watching it with him.

Idk what to do with myself in general, it's so hard not being able to use my hands at all. I'm just bed rotting n jonesing to do something

My husband's been keeping to himself, which is fine. Idk how to help him except just being available.

Idk what to do if myself at all really, both of my hands have carpal tunnel now, although it's much worse on my right hand.

If recovery projections are correct I can't do art until September at the earliest ☹️ but that's a small price to pay vs permanent injury

My husband's dog passed away suddenly. I wish I knew how to help more or that I knew what to say to make it better.

Cuz boy is it really hard and I noticed immediately that my line work was much much much sloppier because I lack control

It made me realize just how hard I'm pressing all the time to get variance in lines and how I'm over-relying on wrist movement

I tried adjusting my pen settings and it was actually insane how much more sensitive it became just from one tick

I was thinking maybe breaking out the cintiq would help, normally I'm using my intuos 5. Maybe it could be a bit more ergonomic???

Man I want to draw so bad 😭 but I'm paranoid I will flare again because that's what happened before when I tried ☹️

It took me maybe a month or two last time, but it was not as incredibly painful or debilitating as this so I'm shook

I am getting scared because I'm reading that it takes a matter of months to get better from something like this. I seem to remember that...
