Just a question- diagnosed Aug 26/15 ALS Bulbar inset. BiPAP, speech almost gone, just had 11 days ago the peg tube but complications from what normally is a simple procedure set me back a ways, weakening In upper body and some respiratory problems of course. My left hand has been weaker and one finger curled that I cannot get uncurled for months but since I am right handed, there was some relief that my right hand and all fingers, though weaker, were still workable.
Now my right hand is growing weaker and my index finger shaky and twitching- almost trembling to bend and curl. I know this is common, but in desperation, I still ask if any of you can tell me if there is anything you know of- folklore,medical,natural remedies, that I could try or use to save this finger from curling under or bending.
Without speech, it is my only way left to communicate.
As silly as this question may sound, any response is welcomed.
