Thanks for the info, Mrs D.
Yup, I've had to put the guitars on the
'back burner' for quite a while, now. Altho it
is easier to play the
classical acoustic one with nylon strings
(Classical/Flamenco guitar style doesn't use picks), than the heavier tension of the
steel stringed acoustic ones. Even with light tension strings. I don't have, or play electrics, with
super-slinky xtra-light strings.
I've taken up the Clawhammer style
banjo, lately
(past 18+ mos). Lower tension strings and can be tuned down even lower. No picks are used. I'm considering an old time
repro model with nylgut strings for even less tension.
Any of them are
much easier to play than my
guitars. My left hand just doesn't have the grip or strength and my right gets numb and I lose/drop the pick.
I'll try the 300 mgs Benfotiamine. I do take 100 mgs of regular B1 (thiamine) daily, tho. Maybe a switch will help.
I do wear a brace every nite on my
R wrist while sleeping, but still get the numbness/pain waking me up, and the
L is starting to get a bit worse.
Any suggestions on
brand (lowest
cost, but still good
quality) at
iherb?
Thanks again,
