Hi @Babygunfire  

Welcome to the arthritis forum, 

You have been diagnosed with arthritis and consequently are experiencing a weakening of your grip. You are trying to get an appointment with your doctor and in the interim would appreciate any advice from forum members. 

I hope you receive some useful input, in the meantime this link to our website may be useful:
