My voice/throat was/is affected, it cracks and loses volume and just plain gives out at times on & off..
I love to sing along with the radio... My brother said he used to like sitting by me at church when we were kids cause I sang so well.. that was nice to hear so many many years later.. Holding any weight out like that would still mess me up.. even long phone calls I get arm tingles and pins & needles...good thing I'm not big on phone calling. But I can lift heavy things using body dynamics/leverage.. go figure Stirring... Food processor, bread machine or mixer is what I use when I'm feeling arm tired or trying to avoid more arm fatigue. By hand.. Sometimes I tilt the bowl and let gravity do half of the work & I make sure the bowl it is at the best working height for me, so my shoulders aren't hunched up & put bowl on a towel so it won't slide around.

Had some light touch Chiro today and feel much better. I couldn't feel most of my fingers apart from the tingling when I went in. I could not hold my arms onto the massage table due to a lack of feeling on the inside of the arm, particularly the elbow area. By the end of the session it felt like I had control of the muscles again, and could hold my arms flat on the table. So I am a very happy bunny right now. If I am careful I can keep this level of arm use for almost a week.
Just a shame I have to write some school reports today on the computer. At least we don't have to write them by hand anymore! Alternative therapies are great in the hands of a skilled practitioner. And what's money in the face of a little while pain free? Just bear in mind that some are better than others and find someone that fits for you. Check out - http://mynsa.info/nsa-practitioners I couldn't get the USA link to work, but there is one down the bottom. I thoroughly recommend this method for more use of hands/arms and less pain. |
