As Marianne said, we raised the same objection with the publisher. And the publisher wanted “Fatosphere” in the title anyway. These things happen.

Will they all have bylines in your book?

No, because they didn’t write it.

You’re doing everything right, but can I suggest a couple other things? Feel free to delete this comment if it’s too annoying.

First, if it IS (acute) tendonitis (which, based on the elbow involvement, I’d guess it is), ice and ibuprofen are your friend. If there’s a reason you can’t take ibuprofen (or if you feel you need to consult your doctor first, or just don’t want to), you can still ice yourself down. Tendonitis is basically an inflammation, and ice should help that. The usual rules of icing apply: short periods of time, not more frequently than every couple hours, etc. (The ibuprofen suggestions for tendonitis are as follows: you need to take 600-800 mg at every dose [6 hrs] to get anti-inflammatory benefits if you can tolerate that much, and DO NOT use the pain relief benefits as an excuse to overwork yourself — I did that a lot.)

Second, the single most helpful exercise I ever did (it was suggested by a piano teacher) was this: Take a sheet of newspaper — a whole sheet, two pages — and, starting at one corner, crumple it into a ball in your hand. Once you’ve got it entirely crumpled, un-crumple it. It’s more difficult than it sounds!

Also, if you don’t have immobilizers in your wrist braces (some plastic/metal to keep you from flexing your wrists) and the problem persists, consider them. I also had a problem with sleeping funny and stressing out my wrist(s) at night, so I’d wear them to bed occasionally. Definitely even more stylish. Fortunately, I was a nineteen-year-old singleton at the time.

I hope everything gets better!

Since you’re already trying out B complex, I’ll give you an unsolicited recommendation to try taking Bromelain also.

I’ve has RSI issues of and on for a few years now. (Graphic designer on constant deadlines — wheeee!!!) The combination of both B and bromelain seems to help me more than either alone. Good luck.
