It's funny...A long time ago...A couple of months before my speech issues started, I decided to look up weak hands with stiffness...I noticed that whenever I went for groceries, My hands would remain in the same position after putting the bags down that they had been while I was holding onto them...Not for long, but for a bit...Simultaneously, my hands were weak...Anyway, this popped up after my search- I freaked out, and decided not to look this up again (lol), but it's always been in the back of my mind...My mom has the same issues with the stiffness in her hands...My mom also has problems walking...She lifts her feet up from her hips, like a soldier..It's hard to explain...

Also, I've always looked muscular, especially my upper body (in the past, not so much lately)...People always think that I work out, even though I barely do...Once, I went to the hospital because of breathing issues...The doctor on-call was like, "You work out a lot, I can tell." I was like, "huh?"

Now, I notice this muscular-ness in my calves...In the morning, my calves look thin, but at night, they look much more pronounced, muscle-wise. I look like a runner even though I don't run. Also, after noticing this, I checked them before I did some jumping jacks in the morning once. They were thin-looking. I did 20-jumping jacks, checked again, and my calves looked huge...Maybe this is normal, though, i don't know...


It's the slow progression of a lot of my problems...Many don't get better after PLEX...Makes me wonder...
