Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish you the best for the New Year.
I had a lovely one with my little ones and of course never the same with out Mom.
The holiday did not seem that stressful, but yet this numbness and tingling in my forearms and hand continues to get worse. I mad a dr. appointment and he said there may be enough damage now that maybe it will show up on an EMG. I has an EMG 2 years ago in March and it came back good, ( I was told I was ready for the Olympics). Mom symptoms started as her inability to move her little fingers. I and the aching burning feelings in my hands and forearms, worse at night. My arms feel week but I can still open stuck jars etc. but my fine motor, like sewing with a needle seem really bad. I try not to dwell on ALS but, find myself wondering if the achie burning feeling is something typical of ALS. I refuse to believe I have it but it is a 6 month wait to see the neurologist. :?
