Often people wear the rubberband on their wrist, to either play with or snap when they have cravings. It's supposed to work by helping them have something to take their attention away from the craving, and if snapped, it's supposed to associate negative experience with the cravings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-72306857588501954572009-07-07T10:34:59.466-04:002009-07-07T10:34:59.466-04:00I can fully sympathize with the lawyer.

Sitting in classrooms or other places like that can be very difficult and yes, not having something to do with your hands can make those things torture. I HATE classroom settings and am not thrilled with any place I have to sit and just listen for long periods of time. A good way to be unobtrusive about it is to take lots of notes- keeps the hands busy. This lawyer just wasn't so smooth about it. He probably wouldn't have the same problem in court- there, he's standing up frequently, he's actively involved in the proceedings othewise. It's very different than just sitting listening.Lilorfnannienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-30910394688096503802009-07-03T17:15:54.084-04:002009-07-03T17:15:54.084-04:00ADHD?ADHD?Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167136327416598724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-82285679062596022912009-07-02T09:20:29.878-04:002009-07-02T09:20:29.878-04:00My 9year old son is calm when he twirls a ribbon o...My 9year old son is calm when he twirls a ribbon or string in his fingers.

I think most of us medical bloggers do. So even though I write in the present, that doesn't mean it is.<br /><br />I have 15 years of notes that I draw from. This allows me to keep posting, even on days when crazies don't show up (which is rare). And the new ones go in the archives for future use.Grumpy, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09858110332436246760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-19697621134055987872009-07-02T00:56:50.277-04:002009-07-02T00:56:50.277-04:00WHAT does this guy do when he has to go to COURT??...WHAT does this guy do when he has to go to COURT???!!!<br /><br />Get some friggin' Prozac.<br /><br />Seriously, are you starting to make this shit up?

I have done it since I was a kid and I can tell you that stress energy goes out when I twiddle my ears. Can't explain it. I Just do it. So there, Grumpy, if you ever visit a pharmacy and see a pharmacist fiddling with her ears, you have seen the Pharmacy Chick...pharmacy chickhttp://pharmacychick.blogpharm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-47499684794842308942009-07-01T12:34:57.542-04:002009-07-01T12:34:57.542-04:00That's it.
