Look forward to getting to know you all. I am a licensed artist/designer and musician. Can't play any of my guitars now. 
Any and all responses are so very welcome. My husband is in hospice in our home. He was a Firefighter and is dieing of Chronic Rejection of a transplanted lung.

Hi Pam and Welcome,
Quite a battle your fighting. We have some things in commone so I can relate to the frustration with not being able to play guitar. My husband,son and daughter all play an instrustment my husband and son guitar and my daughter keyboard/piano and she just got a keytar for her 16th birthday, she loves it. Anyway my husband at 48 just recently has had a problem with his right hand out of the blue he doesn't have RSD or anything but he was dumb founded that after 35yrs he just could not play. I think he might have carpel tunnel and he has been wearing the splints, I happen to have one and it has helped. So I can understand your frustration. I'm sure they have tested you for Carpel Tunnel already? I hope you can find some relieve and a proper dx's.
We are also caring for my husbands mom you has Stage 4 Lung Cancer. She is in some type of remission since her Chemo but stage 4 is stage 4 so we just are taking it day by day.
Good Luck.
