Hi Janice,
No, they were normal before TM. My arms and hands are another story: my right
arm is twisted inward slightly, my right hand is stiff, cannot lift my right
hand-it droops like foot drop, I use a utensil holder on my right hand, I type
with my right thumb.
My left arm is twisted outward slightly. My left fingers are curled slightly, I
can lift my left hand. I can push down my pants with my left hand, but have to
pull up with the right. I can't feel hot or cold water on my arms or hands. I
can't drive. I can't raise my arms over my head.
Does anyone else have these strange characteristics? My neurologist had never
seen this "phenomenom" before and wanted me to come to the university where he
teaches to show his students. I opted not to do so.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
And happy birthday to all those celebrating this month.
Priscilla in TN

I am assuming that the feet were not a problem before TM. Janice,
