Measuring my own myasthenic weakness
As well as measuring distance of focus, counting steps, raising arms out sideways, previous swimming exercises with ladies many years my senior, (as some of you already know) I´ve been using my handwriting to record myasthenic weakness/strength just for my own records.
When in 2010 I complained to my doctor that I could no longer tie a shoe lace, thread a needle, open a packet of chips, peel, squeeze my own toothpaste, write my own signature to the end of it, – he did not ask me for a sample of my handwriting. Had he asked for one, it would have looked something like sample 1.
Sample 2 is from 6 months ago and I remember feeling an overwhelming sense of weakness after 4 lines.
But sample 3 from a few days ago, is what surprised me the most. It is closely reflective of how I feel today and gives me a good visual benchmark for future reference.
Do you have ways you use to measure your own myasthenic weakness?
