Judy - let me add in my two cents here. I've had carpal tunnel
syndrom since 1991. One of the things I trained myself to do was
to sleep on my stomach with my hands flat on the mattress under
the pillow. After a year or two, however, I started having
problems from this position - it seemed that by sleeping with my
arms above my head, I was pinching nerves in my shoulder!
The only advice I can give anyone is take ibuprofen, use a body
pillow, stretch, and don't do too much of any one activity! The
hardest thing for me to change was to take breaks - when you are
working on a piece and caught up in the thrill of it, watching
each step take place and anticipating the finished result, its
really hard to step back and say, "Maybe I should wait and
finish this tomorrow." However, it's the one habit that has
allowed me to avoid extremely painful flare ups, and I like to
con myself into thinking it's made me a more patient person -
hah!
