My whole world is on the computer, I always make sure I can fix my computer when needed LOL. I wanted to do something to him and the hospital after I got my diagnoses that proved I wasn't scitzo. But that would have just made me go down to his level and I am better then that! You know what I mean? Debi
Debi, you really wanted to be able to use the computer! Good for you, although I know it can't be easy. That Doctor should be shot!

Yes I had this same thing happen to me my right hand went into a clinch and I couldn't get it to open so I went to the emergency room...and a doctor there told me I was a scitzo! And wouldn't give me rehab so now I have ulnar nerve damage...and I have been known to throw a can of Pepsi across the room From a spasm.. I haven't had one in a while now and I can grasp things and release ok now...I cant hold on to anything with weight my right hand will drop it, but I can open a door with the round nobs now..and being I am right handed I had to change the way I wrote I write just with my thumb and first and middle fingers I also type just with the three fingers on my right and normal on the left. Debi South Lake Tahoe Ca 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, Candy K.
