Thanks Av8rgirl for the offer of your pillow.

I don't think I have CTS. I really think it does have more to do w/ the position of my arm/hand. Like what MSacorn described.

And it doesn't happen all the time for me either. But if it starts to be an ongoing problem then I'm gonna have to mention it.

Maybe I can wrap my wrists with ace bandages to keep them from bending. Oh Joy!

Thanks everyone for your replies and suggestions

You can buy splints and most drugstores, and stores such as Wal or K marts. I'm sure it will be less expensive the OT. I used them for CTS years ago (it really was MS, even had the surgeries) . My palms are very heat/touch sensitive so I had to go with a smoother material. It might be worth a shot. HTH
