hello 'nerd' and 'Rufus' read the dialogue b/w you two, I have almost the same story. I have complained re: left side fatigue since 2007 'my GP said 'you know your'e getting old'. I remember having similar claw like discomfort in the summer of 2011, then in spring of 12 I caught ad 'flu' went to the doctor and asked re: antibiotics plus what we were going to do about my hand (claw!) good thing I saw the new partner (GP) who 'diagnosed ALS symptoms ..... A battery of test EMG plus a visit to a specialist in Vancouver who recommended IVIG treatments, seeing some benefits but having similar muscle weakness. I would love to start an email dialogue but have to have *more* posts before I can send a 'private' message.

Hope you read

I live in BC too
