Rabone says

your correct, I have read that John Adams book and it doesn't paint Ben Franklin in any good light, and TJ comes off as a backstabber

did you by any chance try using a vertical or gaming mouse to see if it helped? My issue is 1/2 carpal and 1/2 ulna.

medium sized kensington bluetooth wireless. Best mouse I have used to date. Plus I have taught myself a LOT of keyboard shortcuts
Rabone says

to keep from grabbing that damn mouse all the time. That has helped the most.

for instance?

control C for copy, control v for paste, control B for bold, control U for underline, those sorts of things instead of mousing it.
