I don't buy this full moon Friday the 13th bullE36M3, but today can go berk itself!

This morning I got lab result confirmation of fibromyalgia (ie - ruled out everything else) from my PCP. Then the ortho surgeon looked at the giant ass ganglion cyst on my wrist and said leave it alone or smack it with a book. Then my little (half) sister called and informed me that her mom was in the ER with symptoms of a stroke. Then the GF called from 60 miles away in my Mazda to tell me it was clunking something fierce. Over-the-phone diagnosis confirmed that my tire shop didn't tighten the berking lug nuts (this is the second time!!!) and the LF wheel nearly fell off. Then while I was changing the oil in the Audi, I spilled 4.7 Valdez's worth of oil on the driveway and then the oil filter turned out to be incorrect so I had to go to the FLAPS and overpay for the correct one. 

I am now 0.75 beers in to the night, and I haven't imbibed in almost 6 weeks due to medication weirdness but I just don't berking care right now. 

Hit the cyst hard enough that it turns to dust. They seem to come back slower that way. Find a different tire guy. I have no other advice. We're all pulling for you. 

BIBLE! You have to smack it with a BIBLE to get the wrist-demons out! And stop touching yourself. That’s why God gives you wrist-demons.

That brings back memories.  I had a big one on my right wrist when I was 12-13 years old.  Push my hand down and this marble looking thing would pop up.  My mom had two of them, and she told me that her doctor said back in the old days they used to smash a book on them to "pop" them, but nowadays ("nowadays" being 1991-ish) they just leave them alone.

After ten years, and better typing posture, it went away.

Eugh.  Does that explain why I only had one on my right wrist but my mom had them on both?  I thought it was because she touch-typed while I mostly finger-poke with my right hand and left index finger.

...Okay, that came out even worse than imaginable, but it's also funny so I'ma leave it

But it's on the stranger hand!

Argh that blows - hope liquid medicine improved things.

All hands are The Stranger if you sit on them long enough. 

I feel better about smashing my knee-funny-bone on a concrete planter corner this morning...

Seriously man, it will get better.

Excellent! You can teach that stranger a lesson with the “dominant” hand!

I love you crazy guys and girls! I spent a lot of time reading the meme thread, joke thread, and catching up on a bunch of builds. It's what I needed.

I also poked the cyst and got it to get smaller!

OW!!!

Many years ago my Mom had a cyst on her wrist, one morning we were getting ready to go to a store but my brother and I were being "kids" and she was not happy.  I don't remember why but the hood of the car was open and as she was expressing her displeasure with us she slammed the hood down and popped her cyst.

I’ve had the ganglion cyst thing on my wrist for years. I just poke it every few days and it keeps it small.

Seriously OW!  How do you guys DO that?

Mine was literally like a marble was wedged under my skin, and it hurt to manipulate.

Mine was the size of a big olive. I just poked it gently a couple of times a day. Now it's more like an almond.

Once again, Americans will measure using anything EXCEPT the metric system. Lol.

In reply to ShawnG :

Not just measuring size, but also consistency.  You can't "pop" a marble.

Would it be better if I said it was like a small stone?  But that would mean it weighed the same as a duck, so therefore it was a witch.

The mass was 0.00000007345 kilometers in diameter and weighed 54368792 milligrams.

Those measurements got us to the moon. Until another country comes and knocks us of that mountain, we measure things as we see fit.
