Has anyone heard of Hirayama Disease, or had any experience with it? I came across an article describing it, and other its predominate prevalence in Asia, it causes many ALS type symptoms with the wrist, forearm, and hands.
Apparently it is usually a nonprogressive "benign" motor neuron disease (I know, when I read that in the aritcle I did a double take too). It is thought to be caused by extended neck flexion damaging the cervical anterior horn.
I was kind of hoping with my history of neck trouble that something like this might be a possible for me. Any thoughts?
