I appreciate your concern. </p> <p>I have seen all the doctors, therapists and specialists regarding my wrists and arms since I have had this repetitive strain injury for years. I have tailor made braces for my arms, the best chair and work station - it's all in place. Greg looks after me:). I just do too much and with Jasmine passing I am a little more stressed. I am reading a great book on the subject at the moment which I know will help even more. (I do not take pain killers for my arms and wrists).</p> <p>I just need to slow down so I'm only answering 2 to 4 forum threads a day. I can feel the love and thanks for holding up the forum fort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-310124 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:48:21 +0000 Carole 310124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry you are hurting-rest and take good care! I don't know how you do it all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-310106 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:22:31 +0000 peanutbutter 310106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i hope your hand heals fast, Angie.<br /> Thank you for the post. You keep me out of the fashion fog.<br /> xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-310099 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:09:06 +0000 Vani 310099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angle, two years ago I had similar trouble with my right wrist - the one that gets a lot of mouse, scratchpad, joystick action. I saw an orthopedician(sp?) who ordered a scan of my wrist and determined the wrist tendon(s) was inflamed. I was asked to wear a supportive brace while in bed to minimize movement. All of this helped but what helped immensely was switching to a mouse with a roller ball thingy to move the cursor. It takes a little getting used to, but you will never look back. When you've rested your wrists and are feeling better, please give it a shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-309899 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 22:47:17 +0000 Queen Mum 309899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie- take care of your wrist. Please take all the time off from typing that you need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-309883 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 22:13:34 +0000 Reneeb 309883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving the Loft tops for Spring (too much) and I wish I could find a red jacket like the one from H &amp; M no store in my area. The Loft has some nice dress too. Hope you are felling better soon . Looking forward to your picks from Banana Republic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-309847 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 21:09:59 +0000 Aida 309847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tips! I may have to drive out to Bellevue to hit up H&amp;M for one of those red blazers. Hope you rest up and feel better soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-309515 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:02:00 +0000 Aunty 309515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie you are a star.<br /> Now take time to look after yourself, we need you hale and hearty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-309483 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 06:25:35 +0000 anne 309483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Angie, please take care and take all the rest you need. I know you have had this problem before! I second everyone's amazement at how much you have been commenting.<br /> I have had wrist trouble too (in the past) to the extent where for a short while my husband was typing my uni essays for me! I found avoiding using the mouse and using only the keyboard as much as possible was helpful in preventing it reoccurring once I returned to the computer.</p> <p>Am supposed to be on a forum break too, but is is a public holiday and I am having a little cheat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-309422 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 03:02:31 +0000 MsMary 309422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thanks for the tips! I braved the mall today and got one of the fab red H&amp;M jackets and a beautiful patterned top from ATL (among, uh, other things at both stores). And you're right -- the Loft top feels just like silk even though it's polyester! Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts/page/2#post-309017 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 08:09:55 +0000 Audrey 309017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I just came back from Banana republic with 2 things I love! But I think I gravitate towards classic, toned down colors and don't mind olive and taupe. I bought an olive military jacket that I adore, and a pink blouse. Would have bought the taupe heritage ruched wrap tank to go with the jacket, I thought it looked amazing, but had to stop spending at some point. :)<br /> I will say that I often find BR quite boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308936 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 03:13:32 +0000 Anonymous 308936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'm so sorry to read about your arm and wrist pain and hope it clears up soon. Thank you for the heads up about tops at the Loft (we don't have an H&amp;M) and I'm looking forward to your post about the Gap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308918 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 02:04:48 +0000 Zoe B. 308918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait for your Gap picks. The Banana pintuck blouse sounds interesting, I'll check it out.<br /> Hope your wrists feel better soon! I'm not sure if your problems are keyboard-caused but I thought I'd share a tip: my husband was starting to get typing-related pain and switched to a split keyboard where each half is bowl-shaped, so some keys are farther away. That stopped his problems in their tracks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308910 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 01:53:50 +0000 Beth 308910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, take care of yourself and we'll be here when you get back:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308891 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 00:55:19 +0000 taylor 308891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do rest those magic fingers and wrist!!<br /> Thanks for the update on current goodies that are worth a look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308881 Sun, 06 Mar 2011 00:24:40 +0000 Isabel 308881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to add that on several occasions I have stated that I am a very boring dresser. And Angie just proved it !!! I am loving Banana Republic and Gap more than I have in years...I just bought some things from both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308844 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 23:43:08 +0000 rae 308844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie!

I haven't purchased much in BR the past few years, they used to be a go to store where I knew I could get items but not in recent years. And the past few pieces of knitwear I did purchase from them, pilled badly and quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308794 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 21:21:33 +0000 biscuitsmom 308794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, listen to the wise ladies here and take a break!

We will be fine here and will hold down the fort. If it doesn't resolve on its own, be sure to get medical advice. I had bothersome wrist pain all last spring and finally went to see an orthopedic doc who specialized in wrists. He ended up giving me a steroid injection, and fortunately that took care of my problem. I've been fine since. Hugs and hoping for the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308757 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 19:56:42 +0000 Lena 308757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, tomato red at H&amp;M. Dreaming. </p> <p>Like Maya, I haven't bought anything at BR for a very long time. One exception is Martin pants. I think the salespeople forgot what I look like </p> <p>Angie, please do take care of your wrists and don't hesitate taking a break. We'll do just fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308755 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 19:48:44 +0000 Isabel 308755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, hoping that you get both the physical and emotional down time that you need to heal !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308740 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 19:14:35 +0000 Mo 308740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how I wish H &amp; M had online sales!

Thanks for the heads up re: ATL and Gap. I agree with Maya that several years ago I really liked BR, but they haven't been terribly inspiring the past couple of years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-random-but-important-thoughts#post-308732 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 19:05:24 +0000 Barbara 308732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info, about the red jacket, Angie.
