Nikki's Thumbs Hurt...

By Joe Dart
Nikki Keck has a disease. It affects every aspect of her daily life, and it defines her. To date, there is no cure for her afflication, and it may well be with her for the rest of her life. Nikki is a compulsive texter.

"I first started noticing the symptoms early last year. In the beginning, I was in denial. Doesn't everyone send 4 or 500 texts to their pals everyday? I'd say. It was only when my friends gathered in my home for an intervention when I began to realize that I had a serious problem."

Nikki began treatment at the 'Nokia Clinic for the Textually Disabled' in May of 2008. "I'm really turning my life around," she said. The clinic first opened branches in Japan in 2004 to combat what was fast becoming an epidemic in the country. Today they've helped thousands put their phones on hold, and get their lives back!

"My treatment ends next month," replied Nikki, "and I feel like a whole new person. I'm text-free and I'm loving every minute of it."
