| Short Bio |
Started searching for medical help due to increasing atrophy of hands especially the right hand & decreased abilities in use, since March 2020 (probably happening over previous year or two. Finally able to have Neurology evaluations, in Sept-Nov. & diagnosed with a non-specific, Lower Motor Neuron Disease (without Bulbar sx), possibly a variant of ALS. I now have an appt with Neurology at OHSU for a 2nd opinion/Dx in March 2021. Am gradually finding new things about myself like prominent bone ridges of my tibias, my fibulas & ulnas which I had never before noticed. Overall I am still doing pretty well, as I adjust to learning different ways to do things, (opening ziplocks, zipping, etc.) So appreciate this community.
