All thanks go to Cheryl for taking the photos and sharing this technique!
Great!! Just after I did a quick lesson 
Just Joking Jackie!! I'm glad you were able to post it. I'll be taking a look in a few minutes~
My neuropathy is inherited! SeveraL people in my family have it. I have 5 aunts & 4 uncles that have it! 3 of my aunts are nearly crippled. One of them started therapy in accupucture. She was the one that was crippled! Now she is walking slowly but walking! My other aunts are doing accupucture now too. And feeling better. They keep telling me I need to go to the neurologist again but I've been scared too. They are all in there 50's & 60's.. they didn't start getting this disease till about 7 years ago. I'm in my 30's... will be 38 on Aug 9th... I've just been putting it off & doing more & more things to keep my mind off of it & I hurt worse & worse. Hubby noticed tonight that I wasn't feeling good so he insisted I go to the dr. again. I've just taken bus driving course & now I might not be able to do it! My feet hurt a lot when I'm driving. (I feel like I'm whinning... sorry if it sounds like it to ya'll too) I guess that's what pain makes you do.. whine!!
Someone mentioned neck problems & back problems causing the hand stuff. I have had neck problems for over 5 years. I have 2 bulging disc's in my neck & 1 in my back. My siatic (spelled wrong) nerve is effected w/ my back problems but that runs down my left leg. Maybe it's the neck... Never know! I'm going to see the dr. soon.. I promise!!
To everyone that has nerve/muscle problems I really feel for you!!!! I will wear my arm brace from now on!! Thanks for all the response. Wow! Good health to you all!!! 
Cheryl,
YOU ARE THE BOMB!!!!! The tutorial is great!!! I'm soooo glad you did it!!!
Thanks again!!
I thought that maybe it was just me! Mine will hurt SO bad when I am decorating that I have almost cried before. I am on 23, and couldnt stand the thought of Carpal Tunnel, so my early action is I always wear a brace when I decorate, and at work when I type a lot. WHen I do a big cake (ie the Basket Weave Wedding cake) I take one of those new icy hot patches, cut it in half and put it under my brace when I decorate. IT IS AWESOME!!!! Yal should try it!! I dont decorate any other way now!
Thanks everyone!! It was fun doing the dowel stick rose tutorial .. hope it helps everyone w/their roses.. I don't make mine any other way but like this .. I never could master the Wilton way of doing roses .. but I guess that's because I learned the dowel stick method first and just didn't like the heavy roses on the flower nails ... if anyone has any questions, please feel free to pm me and I'll try to answer them .. good luck and may you make even more beautiful roses
