She was washing beans to can and had a leaf on the back of her hand - she shook and shook to get it off and the resulting sprain put her in a cast for several weeks and after 2 years is still in therapy. I suppose something like that could happen to a DMer, too. ;( Jan (~_^) The only problem that could occur with this shaking is what a friend did

I tried for a while on the arms (you know the new one)and that just isn't working either looks far worse then having them on the finger tips.

Try the sides, you'll be surprised at the result. In the meantime, treat them...clean and use a good emollient to tone them up...Joan:) Hi Marcus: you’re fingersticking the wrong places…if that’s why they’re

You should use the *sides* of the fingers where it isn't so sensitive and you can get more blood. I've been doing this for 19 years and even have to tell medical people sometimes who don't know that trick. When they go to jab my tips, I twist my finger or pull back until they listen to me!
