Hi everyone,
For the past year I have cared for my Grandmother who died 2 weeks ago fromMotor Neurone Disease.
Since then, I have had an increasing weakness in my left hand, it feels extremely stiff in the morning, tingles throughout the day and I keep dropping things like my keys and hairbrush.
I have other symptoms such as aching legs and twitches, but I have read the sticky note and other posts and understand these are not indicative of MND, and so I can attribute these to stress/anxiety.
However, the stiffness and weakness in my left hand is getting worse and has done over the last week - my right hand is also getting similar symptoms.
I have no other family history of MND. I'm 29 years old. The doctors failed to diagnose my Grandmother until 8 months after her symptoms had started, so I am unsure what to do now.
Any advice would be appreciated, and I really do know how difficult it is for PALS and CALS to take the time to reply - my heart goes out to you all.
Thanks.
