if you bend your hand back, you know how those 3 things kind of come out behind the knuckle, one for each finger? well, the index finger one tickles when i make a typing or clicking motion with it, it has come on mostly in the past week, i'm a computer programmer, i'm 16, so i've typed a LOT. i grabbed an old goldfish bag and stuck it behind the keyboard and mouse as a wrist rest, will that help? could this be carpal tunnel? if it is, i NEED to stop it, i like programming a lot and i want to do it when i grow up, but getting carpal tunnel now would kinda screw that up. i just realized though, i started riding my bike to my summer job, could the bike's brakes have anything to do with it? it would coincide with the timing i guess.

the bike's brakes really suck, i have to squeeze them very hard to get any stopping to happen.

come on, goldfish bag...

also, if i rest my head on my hand laying on my side, like propping my head up with it it starts to tingle after a while, but it goes away in 10 seconds after i stop propping my head up with it. don't know if that matters or not

yet another thing that i remembered is that lately its been really cold where i spend most of my time (programming), around 65 degrees. i like it that way, i've never had a problem with it before, but could it have anything to do with it?
