Sam, try that rubber band thing I did. I know you once said it would drive you crazy, but maybe mess around with different sizes or how you wrap it up in your fingers. Anything to keep that thumb roped in -- and you can still type with it!

I know what you mean about not wanting to call attention to the trich by always putting a hat on when watching TV or whatever. Do you knit or crochet?

THANKS GUYS!!!!!! Great suggestions. OK but my main trigger is working on my computer, and I need both hands, and I need my fingers uncovered. I think Lien wins the suggestion award, with the noisy bracelets idea. Though it would really piss me off when I'm working. My reminders on my phone are working pretty well. For me what works is - having wet hair, wearing a beanie/headscarf, and constant reminders. I really think something on my head is key, I'm gonna maybe get some headscarves and play with styles that cover my hair and look cool, if that's even possible.

Doing well today, but it's only 10 am... So. Yeah. Afternoon and night is when I've been slipping.

i have a special cowboy hat i wear at home with my flatmates.. they have never commented on me wearing it indoors.. i think they think i look cool.. but only you and I know the real reason i wear it !

Don't you wish that groovy scarf a la Jackie O was in style? I love that look, and would totally block my fingers from searching for pullable hair!!

Hehe they so could be in style! I don't see why you couldn't wear one. And Luleee I love the cowboy hat idea!!

I've not been doing so great today, pulled about 4 or 5 hairs so far. I just don't care!!!!! BAD ME!

Ok from now on... til the end of today. No more!

Ooh not doing well. At all. I'm being weak weak weak.

Ok, let's go!

When I have to spend a lot of time at the computer, I put some kind of creamy or slimy goo all over my head and an oatmeal pack on my face. That's just "girl stuff" and nobody ever wonders or comments about it. When watching TV, I apply coat after coat of clear nail polish or give myself a "hand" facial, with warm lotion and then wrap the hands up in a soft cloth. Make sure you're getting enough B Vitamins, and keep up your good work; you're going to win.

go go go!!! you can do this hon. Keep trying. BIG HUG!

A strong comeback is worth much, so be proud of yourself :)

Receiving rewards from someone else sounds like a great motivation, very creative :)
