Susan, with regard to your pain, did your doctor recommend a brace to stabilize your hand and wrist when using the mouse? I worked with a woman who experienced similar pain, did not have CT, but used brace and found it alleviated some of the discomfort. She also placed a pad in front of her keyboard to elevate her wrists a bit.
Like your husband, I love the convenience of being able to answer e-mail or text from my phone. While I've been able to dodge Blackberry thumb, I do have eye strain from time to time from looking at my computer too much. I try to eliminate glare and have used screens, but sometimes get that 'filmy' feeling.
