that reminds me of the hand brace I was given shortly after my attack.
It was brought to me because I was holding a rolled-up pair of socks to
soften the grip of my clenched hand. I didn't want to let the nurse
take the socks away. A therapist soon brought me a plastic hand/arm
brace that held my wrist, hand and fingers fully open and straight. I
loved that brace, It was such a relief to have my muscles stretched. I
took it off to do my occupatonal therapy, but put it back when I needed
to rest. I even slept with it on for a few months. I understand why
your gloves have become two of your closest friends.

Hi Janice,
Yeah, I can really appreciate it. After I had my initial acute attack of
TM - it was about 3 years later when I started to get 'hand-cramps',
when the fleshy-part of the hand between the thumb and fore-finger
starts to pull my fingers into all sorts of weird shapes!...lol.
I found a pair of very tight-fitting gloves in my local
physiotherapy-clinic, which were designed for 'carpal-tunnel' sufferers
but they do a fantastic job to ease the cramping and lately, they have
become 2 of my very closest friends.

Hi Guys,
Would like responses on a problem that only recently – after 5 years of
TM - has occurred.
When put my shoes on, my right foot (heel) spasms and makes it harder
to walk. Have any of you had
this problem? Really looking forward to summer to wear sandals –
don’t think there will be a problem then.
Is strange that after all these years that this problem would show up.
Thanks,
Janice
