I started magnesium supplements a week ago, and will see how it goes. No changes yet, my hand once again is clawed up but i know it is early days.

I definitely do not have any atrophy, so it is highly likely that this is lupus seeing I have neurological involvement with my lupus. My neuro tells me that not having atrophy is a good sign, as otherwise they would be thinking of things like MND/ALS with my symptoms. So that is good.

Botox is worth exploring for me, but I know that nothing is guarenteed. I am just so excited that i had about 36 hours of being able to use my hand, even thought the side effects were intolerable.

thanks guys, you're the best
