I have mild CP and fibromyalgia.

the gel mousepads dont work for it, cus of the increased pressure in the tunnel area (comeon folks, think about it - the issue is lack of space in there due to swelling, thus, movement/pressure aggrivates it).. i'd avoid the gel crap.

OTC wrist braces are a temporary solution - one i can't manage to use cus the sound of that plastic hitting my desk and clicking worse than the keyboard drives me batty.

for me (i liked the towel idea, there) - i have one of those ... crap, i dont think there's a universal term for them - but you can find them sometimes in natural/healthy food stores, herbal shops, etc.

i call 'em miracle beanies (i make 'em) - they're like mini elongated pillows filled with (usually) flax seed, rice, and buckwheat hulls (mine are anyway).  they can be chilled or heated in the microwave for extra comfort (when heatted, be aware the flax seed DOES have natural oils - while its good for the skin, it sucks for desks).  i use one to prop my wrist/lower arm on when the "tingles" get out of hand.  if you have one, or get one - try it both ways - some like it cold, some like it hot LOL.  shaking the hands out works - kinda.  but the beanie has been my lifesaver.  (and for the other person with fibro - they work great for THAT, too.. if you have anyone massage you to help, the beanies placed on the spot before massage helps stimulate the blood flow and to me, the massage is a bit less painful - but then again, cus my "massage therapist" is my hubby - i get to punch him if he hurts too bad LOL)

good luck... and i dont know what i'd do without being able to use poser.  my handdrawing skills suck big ol censored
