Hi all, i have not been officially diagnosed with ALS.... Most of you know me, i just had my fourth and last EMG....... I will not get the results until June. Here is another thing i have experienced that i have not heard of, so maybe it is not ALS... When i was at the ballpark with my kids (yes another ballpark story!) I had a cold soda that i had held in my left hand the one with wasting and wrist drop. Anyways, when i let go off the can i had to take it out of my grip with my right. My ring, middle and pointer finger were fixed in the bent position but my thumb and pinky were fine. I could not move my fingers other than my thumb and pinky at all! I drove one handed home and showed my husbad, he thought i was having a muscle cramp and i said not it does not hurt and when i tried to move and wiggle my fingers they did not budge. He and i were both grossed out, he felt my hand and it was ice cold... He warmed it up with his then i layed my hand on the counter and rolled my arm down to straighten the fingers.. I then kept wiggling them and finally they started to move some. They are back to their old weak state but i am able to move them thank god. My fingers were like playdoh or clay it was a gross feeling, it was as if they were not apart of my body.... No feeling, no movement.... sam
