Linda asks…
What are some good books for overcoming social anxiety?
I’m so scared in social situations that I’ve struggled to hold down a job and meet new people. I never feel calm and I always feel like my body is so tight like I’m always expecting the worst to happen, instead of being loose. I also can’t make eye contact. Are there any books that will help me overcome this extreme fear?

Are Your Guys Always Friend; Never Boyfriend?
There is an amazingly sad but true scenario in the dating scene that we are asked about quite regularly now. This is the anguish that some women experience when they find themselves in contact with or getting to know a man that they really like. This is a guy who passes the ‘nice guy’ test you may have read about in another WWH article. However, he is not asking her out because he sees her as a friend; not as date material. This real [...] http://bit.ly/fqPMni
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome Wrist Bases
The condition known as carpal tunnel, is one in which a person's median nerve is pressed against, and that may end with a severe shooting pain that will be very uncomfortable. If this is happening to you, then know that you are not alone and you need to do everything that you possibly can to alleviate yourself of these symptoms before they end up either taking over your life, or worse. Fortunately there are a lot of things that you can use to ward off the symptoms and even soothe the pain, which should be good news for anyone that is suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.
Initially you need to figure out if you really do have carpal tunnel syndrome. To do this you need to see your doctor and get a full diagnosis. The physician will ask you about your day to day activities while examining your hands to see if there is any evident swelling or pain. In a few of the more extreme instances, they might have to give you an EMB to see the nerves in your limbs, and compare them to the known cases of carpal tunnel syndrome around the world. If for any reason you decide that the doctor's diagnosis is not satisfactory, then feel free to find another opinion. You know your body intimately and if you think the diagnosis was incorrect, speak to another doctor before you begin treatment.
Carpal tunnel can be treated easily, but if you ignore it, t hen it will just become worse, causing excessive and avoidable damage to your median nerve. You will lose feeling in your hands, perhaps experience some tingling, and in the worst case scenario you will experience shooting pains up and down your wrists. These pains may become so intense that you'll have trouble living your life or even holding down a job. While resting will alleviate the pain for a short time, you need to seek out proper treatment or it will just get worse.
Certain medical conditions may be to blame for carpal tunnel syndrome, and a few of those might be Diabetes, Lupus, Thyroid disease or a lot of different ones which could cause swelling and pressure on that median nerve. This can of course be treated and needs to have this done as quickly as possible. Treating it immediately w ill thwart the symptoms and will help you to live a normal life. If you don't, then the symptoms will return at random times putting you in bad situations in your standard routine.
The best thing that you can do is perform some stretches and do some muscle exercises for your hands. These will do a great job of fighting the carpal tunnel symptoms and using anti-inflammatory medication, along with exercise will definitely help. If you come up with any questions, then make sure you talk to your doctor and find out what is best for you.
