This was a great article and it sounds very familiar.
On and off for the past two years I've experienced similar pain. (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=889067). The last three weeks have been particularly bad: I've taken time off, I continue to wear wrist braces at work and at night when I program, I've started doing rigorous hand and wrist exercises daily, and while it has helped a little bit, I still experience a lot of pain. It scares the hell out of me because a lot of my future plans depend on me being able to spend a lot of time programming; without my wrists, I'd be lost.
What occurred to me reading this article is that about three weeks ago I found out about an incredible opportunity that may drastically change my life. (Stay at my day job or leave and work on a startup full time). I've spent a lot of time dwelling on it, trying to decide what to do. It can't be just a coincidence that my debilitating wrist pain started at about the same time.
I'm going to buy the book. I have high hopes. We'll see what happens.
