Hello all,
First time posting and kind a nervous... but here it goes.
I want to know more about first symptoms, specifically upper limb onset (hands, fingers, ect.) Though, it is my first time posting, I am very familiar with the terminology and definitions used in this community. (Ie. knowing the difference between weakness and fatigue) I have a few questions and would love to hear form individuals personal experience.
Thanks you so much for your time!
1. What age did you have your first symptoms?
2. What were your first symptoms
3. How did you realize you were having issues?
4. Did issues start on your dominate side or non-dominate side?
5. When did you go and seek medical help and when where you diagnosed?
I will tell a little about me before I ask you to share. I am a younger male with some weakness and dexterity issues in my non dominate left hand. I realize that that the non dominate hand is not as strong and has less dexterity, but my pinky and ring finger seems to be worst then normal. I am going through the proper channels and trying to figure it out. Just wanted to hear some personal experience and understand what it means to have upper limb onset. Once again, thank you for your time.
