As a fellow patient -- accepting that sometimes life is uncontrollable can bring a lot of peace. Even if there is no treatment, acceptance does a lot for happiness.
Nonetheless, know that your post is appreciated. For now it's mostly handling small fasteners that gets me, typing is usually mostly okay. But since I do hardware prototyping I had to learn to ask for help a lot more than I was used to.
I also find it's sometimes helpful to wear a cloth around the more painful hand to kind of remind people that the pain isn't obvious... well, plus if it's a little wet it helps the pain a lot so it's functional too. But invisible pain means my coworkers frequently assume I'm feeling about how they are. And I feel bad saying no to stuff since technically I can still do it... it's just painful to do.
