Thanks so much for the message! I've missed you too! I've been doing a bit bad...Lotsa visits to the Emerg., but today, I am feeling very strong! The humidity went down...I went for a long walk and was able to move my tongue around! Yaye! lol

I'm sorry about your hand! I have a bit of atrophy in my left hand as well, between my pinky and ring finger...Makes my hand cramp-up, spasm and go limp when I've been typing too much...I also get weird sensations, pins-and-needles...It sucks, I know! I still don't know why I have it, but it's a pain-in-the-butt...

I'm sorry to hear about your dad's illness...I hope that his therapy goes well and he gets better very soon!

I hope it's MG too, girl! I know just how you feel! I was in your shoes, and it's hard when you have to wait and see...I remember staring in the mirror looking for ptosis...Being like, "come on eyelids! Comply! Go weak!" It's really bizarre to anyone who doesn't know the fear of what you view as the only other alternative; the 'if-it's-not-that-it's-this'...But don't worry, like your name on that site, you're hopeful, and i am hopeful too!

By the way, ask your doc. if it's okay to try soda water for the cramps, as it contains quinine...Also, magnesium is also very good for the cramps...You have to use both with caution if it's MG causing it, though...

Talk to you soon, Connie
