Most here know of my degenerative peripheral motor nerve condition and that I'm doing what I can to deal with it.
Anyway, a few days ago I woke up and my right thumb had stopped working altogether. Before that, I could move it a bit, at least enough to cut a cigar and twirl it while toasting the foot.
My whole right hand and wrist have very limited movement and as my neurologist put it, "profound weakness." If I brace my wrist, it helps to make my hand a bit more useful. I've learned to do a lot of stuff left handed. My right lower leg, ankle and foot are affected with a bit of involvement in my left side.
After a coupla days my thumb started to wake up again and now it's pretty much back to normal, well the new normal anyway.
I gotta admit, I was a bit concerned that my condition was going to worsen and wondered what could be involved next.
I've lost the feeling in my right foot for a few months before and my wife would check it to make so there's no injury. It's fine now.
