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, 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.

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,
