Strange but good
Hi all
I hope you all had a great saturday.
It seems kinda weird but today almost all of my symptoms were gone. I did not have the slurring, the tripping, the aching in my arm. Nothing! The only thing that was mildly annoying was not knowing what in the heck is going on. My hand is still atrophyed and I have limited use as far as dexterity a few twitches, but my legs and my feet even felt good I felt like i could walk without lifting my knee conscienely. I had way more energy than i have had in 2 weeks. I went shopping and bought myself some clothes and even contemplated going to the gym. But then I thought I better not push my luck. I knew the gym would be only for the sheer purspose of riding the bike. I in no way felt as if I could push myself the way I used to but just the thought of going made me feel good. Maybe tomorrow.
Question: is this normal with als? Does it have remission times or is that only MS? I had investigated MS at the begining but some of the symptoms did not line up to what i had. ie hand wasting (thenar muscle) heat making symptoms worst. reflexes not present. I dont know this is all so new to me. Any suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Was it the beer that helped me and my nervous system? :mrgreen:
I hope you area all having a good day. In spite of it all the weather here in CA is beautiful it is spring like enough to make any one happy.
Prayers and wishes for your happy outlook one day at a time.
