Need help tying with rheumatoid arthritis

Hi All,

I've been having trouble fishing and tying because of a cervical spine problem.
Now I'm dealing with rheumatoid arthritis.
Use of my left arm/hand is very limited, not to mention painful.
I've found ways of getting some things done but things like stroking back fibers when doing a collar or flipping the bobbin over after wrapping a body or ribbing are major sticking points.

Anyone out there have similar problems that you've gotten around?

Thanks,
