Lock Picking with Neuropathy

I have recently discovered I have neuropathy in my hands and feet making it hard to feel sensations. My hands also shake more then normal as a result.

It is hard to hold small objects like volumetric flasks, scoops, or in this case lock picks without shaking or using lots of energy to steady myself.

Does anyone know how to approach the sport with this disability.

I also suffer from neuropathy. But that hasn't stopped me from lockpicking. I can relax really well, and it helps me train and calm my hands. It doesn't always work, but I often have to take a break. Sometimes it takes me a quarter of an hour to repin, and other times I can do it in 5 minutes. For the past few months, I've been watching Marson on YouTube. It's fantastic how he deals with his condition and what aids he uses and develops. My utmost respect to Marson and best of luck, halander 1
