When Spider and then Mandi came on this board and mentioned Flextend, I was angry at all the negative posts directed at them, I also felt they had the right to say what worked for them. However, things have sure changed since then... I'm sorry, Mandi, I am sick to death of Flextend, because all it does is incite arguments... Almost every new person that comes here posts an email address, why not just send them the link for Flextend, you could even draft up a form letter to send every person on how it worked for you... It wasn't that long ago that Copdaddy was getting angry with Alan for his posts about Bonnie Prudden, I don't think there is anybody here that wants to read the same thing, the same argument, over and over and over again, and I think there's a lot more out there than just Debbie and Roger, but nobody wants to get involved so they stay quiet.... This board is very supportive regarding CTS, some of us have had very bad experiences with our doctors, but let's face it, we need them...

Almost every single post from a "newbie" about CTS gets a flextend pitch, posted on TOP of any other helpful suggestions from our family, why is that? I'm beginning to agree, this isn't a carpal tunnel board, it's a free website for flextend... I have yet to see one person that has posted here and came back and said that they tried flextend and it worked, and since this is an international board as far as our posters go, why is that? This is just my opinion, but it's time to give flextend a rest!!!! Linda
