It is possible your PWP may be undermedicated.

I have difficulty using utensils and using my fingers and right hand, especially with fine motor tasks. I started Ocupational therapy and am learning many techniques to help the me regain some function again, it has been a gamechanger for me. There is hope for improvement and better functioning, don't settle for less.

Hi. No mewdication helped me with that. What did help was to concentrate fully on each movement. Because you have done it all your life it does not eork now because it is controlled by your subconscioud brain, which does not work properly. So, get used to doing everything like walking ad writing by concentrating hard on each action. Good luck!
