New Tips
#1 - If your hands keep ''curling up'' and cramping during the day try carrying around something in your hand like a clean dry wadded cloth or tissue.
#2 - Using small hand tools, implements, pens and such may be the cause of sudden and terrible cramps in your fingers. Before you attempt any task (like eating) try massaging your hands under a warm water tap or in a bowl when you wash up, and finish with a sports rub cream instead of hand cream.
#3 - An object that is thin like a pen requires some kind of buffer/padding for your hand to grasp as you write. Create this by winding a length of knitting wool, sticky tape etc around the tool where you usually grasp it for writing. You might also be lucky and find rubber 'thingys' that you can buy to slip onto pens and pencils ;  )
#4 - If you must consume Liquor avoid beer as it is an irritant for arthritis and other ailments.
-
Having a job that requires you to fill out forms onsite, give written receipts etc anything where you must hand write for any length of time can be painful and disconcerting.
