One of my problems right now in terms of getting over my fears – ALS mainly, and secondarily, brain tutor – is this sensation of weakness I have. I have it in my right leg, and my right arm and especially my hand. It feels like to fingers are weak when I pick something up, or even just drying myself off after a shower. Like my fingers feel different and like they aren't getting enough strength.
But I am able to use my hand for everything normal, I can pick stuff up, I can button shirts, I can do it all, it just feels weak/strange/hollow/slow in a way. Oh and my typing on my right hand feels slower and less accurate, same with texting with my thumb, it feels slower than my left thumb.
As for my right leg, it feels like it doesn't move as well as my left leg. Like it's slower and weaker. But I do a pretty good workout on it and and I have played sports on it just fine. As far as I can tell is it's actually slow; it just feels like it.
I'm wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone on here. It's hard to fully put this stuff behind me when I still have these feelings. My doctor thinks it could be post viral syndrome, since I had a really nasty virus this summer that took me weeks and weeks to get over. She also thinks maybe with my hand that it is possible it's early carpel tunnel.
Thanks,
Joe
