Hi everyone i am in good spirits for the moment, i have insurance now and can take care of some things that need to be taken care of! Anyhow, i thought i would write on how i describe what i am feeling with my arm since so many people ask about weakness, wasting and how it feels............ Both of my arms are affected but the left is waaaay worse. I was folding clothes, horribly today and it came to me as how to describe how my arm and hand feel. Just like a puppet. You know how arms on a puppet are floppy when they go to reach and very uncoordinated! I kept reaching for a garment and it was like my arm was wobbling or thrown at the clothes and forget about my left hand. Everytime i tried to grab something it was like i was just throwing my hand at the clothes like trying to fish and hope something grabs hold. When i wash in the shower and have to use my left arm it is like i am dragging it along my long and maybe it will was the where i want. I am laughing right now, oh lord how it is good that i can laugh at myself. I make fun of myself all the time and genuinely laugh, it is not funny when i see others that are dealing with it though.. That scares me really bad to be honest............Does this help to describe what happens to your arm and hand also or is this totally all my own! Have a great night, Sammantha
