I have to alternate the fingers I use or swap hands most of the time.

I will also get occasional shooting pains through an elbow, toe, knee or some other random places in my body. These are getting more prevalent so I'm thinking there might be a connection with the proliferation of these electromagnetic devices.

Cheers

Perhaos try using a styllus. There are many inexpensive multi packs on certain shopping sites, though if you try a cheap one from a drug store and it works, you may wish to consider buying a more well built and likely more expensive model.

Of course if holding writing implements is bad on your hands this solution is not for you.

I find devices with touch screens ddon't always read my movements, though I am unsure if that is related to neuropathy.
