Guys-It's weird, I have the same hand problems. The neurologist
says it sounds like carpal tunnel. The ortho surgeon says it's
not. I can type now, but couldn't 7 months ago. Still can't hold
a pen much. EMG shows diffuse slowing of conduction to all nerves
leading to the hands. The surgeon told me surgery wouldn't improve
this. It's interesting that some days are better than others. I
have also been trying the arthritis gloves which seem to help. The
elbow pain at night is pretty bad though.

Hi Susan,
Just curious… was the carpal tunnel due to pre-TM issues or as a
result of TM? After TM hit me, it left me with disfigured hands – I
lost the ability of the tendons to bend or lift the fingers of my
right hand. I had two surgeries where the doctor was able to make
use of lesser tendons to take over for the damaged ones. One finger
still doesn’t bend like normal and I have limited grip ability, but
the end result is so much better than before the surgery. Hope your
surgery was successful and your fingers will be able to fly over
the keyboard.

James, I thought maybe you had unsubscribed. Good to hear from
you. We are all still out here, just some days are better than
others and we don’t post that much anymore. Roger in Kennewick, WA

I have received nothing on the Tm site since March 14. Would
somebody send me a Hi so I know you all are still there?
