Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

I've been to the doctor tonight and he's 90+% sure that I've got Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my wrists, the right being much worse than the left.

I've been referred to the hospital for nerve conductivity tests to confirm the diagnosis and have to go the chemist tomorrow to order wrist splints to wear at nights.

Does anyone out there live with the syndrome and can you give me some tips on what to do or what not to do please? All tips very gratefully received.

Thanks
