I have been doing very well for the most part Hampster...thanks! I've just been very busy with this being the holiday season at work (retail). We've been working 6 day work weeks and I've just been terribly exhausted and only posting here and there where I felt like I really had something to add to the discussion. Just had a really bad flare on Christmas when I got careless and opened a gift without my gloves, grabbed it full on in my right hand, and it was ICE COLD metal from being in the car. My whole hand swelled up, arm went into a flare, fingers clawed...it was the worst I have been in a LONG time. Flare lasted about 2 days but then I was basically back to normal. I've been trying to be careful and at the same time pushing myself way too hard at work. So I get minor flares here and there but they don't last very long usually as long as I treat them with Lidoderm patch, hot bath, and ultrasound (not all at the same time obviously...lol).

I'm still doing one tdcs treatment a day...though I admit to missing one here and there depending on my work schedule. Now that Christmas is over I should be able to get back on a more regular routine.
