We had to close off the entrance and only let a certain amount of people in at a time, and I heard there were a few fights that started.

That was gonna be my "A"! I went this afternoon and they had done that. It was really smart. There were only about 5 people in front of us and we only waited for about 5 minutes. This one guy pushes his cart up toward the door and my husband (who never says anything about anything) called him out "The line's back there, bud." Dude was pissed. He said to the lady with him, "Let's just go." and they stormed off. Like, you would have been inside the store by the time you got your seatbelt on. Is now really the time for being a dick about waiting for 5 minutes? Is that your first world problem of the day? You should be grateful to just be out of the house for a minute. But I digress.

Also, they had used pallets to build a barrier between the in door and the out doors to stop all the cries cross. I thought that was cool & creative.

I came here to say this. What else we can't do: play video games in a group because you give the controller back wet (Esp the guitar controller). Touch someone else's computer or let someone touch yours if you are working together or helping one another. Yoga. Karate. Gymnastics. Square dance or otherwise dance with a partner. Get a mani or a pedi without being absolutely certain the Asians banter is all about you.

I feel you on the writing thing too. I'm a lefty and never got a good grade on any projects where markers were involved.

However, after attempting every other possible treatment...I found a winner with Botox. Not 100%, but I will go with 80-90% on most days. Injection day is a brutal half hour as I get about 20 shots in each hand/foot. I've yet to endure them in the underarms yet. If my work situation ever changes and I have to actually leave my house to work, I will probably have to.

There is definitely something to be said for how the experience changes people. My husband was always the guy that went outside looking around while the sirens were going off. Several years ago, he had to turn his car around & flee a tornado. He's a pretty mellow guy that doesn't get worked up easily. He was visibly shaken that day even an hour after when he got home. Says he'd never been so scared and he's not been the same since. Just like OPs husband here. We just bought a new house and it just happened to have a real 6-walls-of-concrete shelter. He thought he'd hit the jackpot. I appreciate his passion over the safety. The only problem is that sometimes I think he scares the kids unnecessarily. My 8 y/o has mild panic attacks at the sound of any siren...this includes when an ambulance or firetruck drives by. :-(

Do it! I get the injections in my hands. Most days, I'm completely fine. They are sweating now because I am thinking about it. But otherwise, they really only sweat when I'm nervous or worried...like normal people. The only side effect is that I have some loss of grip strength for about 2-3 weeks starting about 1 week after injections. It's weird because I can still lift weights & hold things, but I can't open a ziplock bag at all and tying my shoes & using scissors is difficult & exhausting. But it's worth it. I've been doing it for about 2 years now. Hands & feet.

I also have this condition and I do get Botox injections in my hands and feet. It's very effective for me so I keep going back for the treatments. Fortunately, I was able to convince my insurance company that it is a safety issue so they cover all but the office visit copay and a portion of the actual meds. I have to go every 3-4 months. It's quite uncomfortable, but only during the injections. The only side effect I have is some weakness in my hands for a few weeks after injection. It seems to be concentrated in that big muscle below my thumb so I still have strength to lift heavy things, but have trouble using scissors and doing silly things like opening ziploc bags or clipping my nails. I've learned to prepare and adjust. This treatment is really so successful for me that it's worth the pain, the mild expense and the side effect for me.
