    Re: Driving Assessment

    Use it or lose it?

    Sorry I stole that from someone else's post but I couldn't think of a better description of what I wanted to ask. I was diagnosed in January 2014. I quit working in July.

    The relationship between cramps, spasticity and wasting

    Recently the muscles below my left and right pinkies have been "locking" in cramps a lot (6-7 times a day). Is there a relationship between the cramps and how soon muscle wasting will be visible? I see some wasting in the top of both hands but not a lot. I have been driving a lot (4+ hours a day...
