Really.

My hands and feet will upon occasion decide to swell up. I find that it's usually in conjunction with moving a lot of heavy objects or getting around a lot of different materials like cloth stores or clothing stores. It's pretty random and I never know when it will occur. I think that at least part of it is an allergy to certain fabric types/dyes that I inherited from my grandmother, as she discovered her own allergy while actually working in a fabric store and had to wear gloves most times while handling the materials. One time my own swelling occurred after sitting at a computer playing a game for a few hours (11th Hour, of all games, so yes, that was many moons ago), so I have never been able to determine an exact cause for the swelling, only partial patterns.

Last night one hand swelled up slightly and the other hand quite a bit while rummaging around at The Dump (which you really can't exactly rummage there, but one can dream). Today the swelling has receded, but both of my hands are still aching and tingling horribly.

Ow, ow, ow

Nice Pink Floyd reference, and I'm sorry you have the Mickey Hands (as I've always called it when mine do that). *hugs tight*
