Question:
Can CTS be concidered a disability?

I have it very bad and can not sleep most nights. I have tried 2 different kinds of braces and they do not help. I can not afford to have operation I do not have INS any more.    — wildbrat (posted on October 16, 2005)

Dear Beth, My heart goes out to you. I know it sucks (so to speak). Hang in there put up a the good fight. It took me over five years fighting and of trying and I was half heartitly trying before that. My surgery date is November 7th. I never thought my doctor or a doctor in town would work with me or my insurance as I had to money to cover anything but insurance. DO NOT GIVE UP! Life is short and you deserve the happiness you are seeking. MANY of us have had hard, long, tearful journeys to get to this point. You are not alone in wanting this for your self. read and talk and write and call and keep at this goal. I hope you get want you want.

In the meantime, you might consider taking a lot of B vitamins, especially B6 to help with the carpal tunnel problem. Has worked for some people. :)
