mouse tip - if you are right-handed use mousie in your left hand - takes a bit of getting used to, but it shares the load. I learned that when I was was first diagnosed, & now I can't use mouse in my right hand, even tho I'm very strongly right-handed.

google search on RSI glove

I've not tried the Handeze glove tho I know folks who swear by it.

Warning from one site -
However, if a person already has a typing injury, it is very important that he or she checks with a medical specialist, first, before using and wearing any typing gloves.

As you probably know, the most important thing about hand pain is STOP IMMEDIATELY IF IT HURTS. Next thing is DON'T OVERWORK - frequent stops with appropriate exercises are essential.

Besides, as experienced quilters like Liz the Squeak can tell you, there is nothing wrong with giving a late present!
