Hi,
Today I had appointment with DDS Doc. He did a "feel the prick?" test on my limbs and hands. My left leg has been numb for 4 years, so no feel and no surprise there. However, on the palm of my right hand, which has atrophy, I could not feel it either. Big girl that I am, I burst into tears (just for a second - mom would be proud). and said, "This has never happened before," which it hasn't. NOTE: DX first time ALS - Octorber 31, 2006. But thanks to second opnion, I am on second series of IVIG, just in case it is Multifocal Motor Neuropathy MMN).
Second new / more frequent symptom: Daily sharp shooting sporatic pains in right arm and hand and both legs.
I go back to ALS clinic on August 30, 2007. Do these "new" symptoms seem more like ALS. Just wondering. Thanks, Peg
