I am so sorry you are having problems with hands too. So far, mine is
just arthritis and right now, they are doing pretty good. I probably just
jinxed myself!! By the way, how far up did your TM go that it might be
affecting your hands? Don't tell me T/L - just tell me the part of the
body. Mine went up to my shoulder blades.

Subject: [TMIC] Feet to Hands problems/solutions?
OK, we've explored the different problems of TM with the feet/legs/toes.
Now, how many of you have your hands cramp up into weird positions or lock
around something or lock into a clintch and not be able to get your hands
to relax into "normal" positions.
When I'm eating, my hands will clintch around the silverware. There have
been times where I'm trying to cut something on my plate and BOTH hands
clintch around the silverware; the only thing I can do is try to pull the
silverware pieces out by my mouth then try to unclintch my hands with my
mouth, or sit on my hands or try yoga breathing techniques to relax. This
seems to happen if I'm tired or too hot/cold. Now when those conditions
occurs, if anything on my plate needs cutting I pick it up and eat it with
my hands. Sure cuts down on going out to eat in public.
Has anyone bought the special silverware where the handles are bigger?
Did it help?
To me, the pain from hands cramping/spasming is MUCH worse than my
feet/toes or legs, at least I have my hands to unclutch toes, or grab my
feet or leg and "talk" to the offending part (which seems to help).
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably .
And never regret anything that made you smile.
Prayers and thoughts for you and yours,
