Hej everyone,

As I've mentioned before, I have repetitive stress disorder in both
arms/hands/shoulders which really interfers with my life. As the
emoticon goes, :-(.

Recently, I've had to reduce the amount of meds I'm taking because
the side effects were getting bad (nightly nightmares,
hallucinations, etc.). As a result, my pain threshold his way down
there, and even using a cone is causing a lot of pain. Other things
are causing a lot of pain also, so using my arms, especially my
dominant arm, is not the best thing to do. I will go see my doctor
next month and will discuss this with him, but until I get medical
insurance that covers meds (my current insurance doesn't), I don't
think there's much we can do. I'm trying to do yoga in the morning
(I wish there was a school of yoga that incorporated interested cats
in it), will be using dictation software for school work and am
saving up for some acupuncture (also not coverend by my insurance),
but don't want to give up on hennaed hands altogether.

So . . . I know the majority of people here are pro-freehand, and I
prefer that method - it's more traditional, and the designs you can
do are more intricate and traditional that what stencils offer - but
do you think I would be Americanizing henna if I used the stencils on
myself, at least until better meds are available? By Americanizing I
mean making it quick and not as traditional as it could be.

Comments? Questions?j

Thanks much,

Anne, who's happy because it looks like anti-Muslum/Arab crimes in CT
are going to be prosecuted as hate crimes
