Pizza Queen, I desperately encourage you to ask your doctor to look into Monomelic Amyotrophy. As I said in a post back in February, my husband was diagnosed with the disease 12 years ago. It took the doctors a long time to figure it out -- in fact, he was finally diagnosed by research specialists at the National Institutes of Health. All the doctors originally thought it was ALS, then moved on to conduct many, many tests including MRIs and electric shocks on individual nerves in his arms and legs.
His hands have no muscle tone, and look "hollow" -- especially below his thumb. What should be a strong mass of muscle is just a hollow cavity. He has trouble with anything requiring manual dexterity. The good news is that Monomelic Amyotrophy does not spread throughout the body. While his hands will never get better, they are the only muscle groups affected. It is a very rare disease, and might not be on your doctor's radar. Please mention it.

Many (((((hugs))))) for you PQ. This is a scary time and I pray that you and your husband will have the answers you need quickly. May God grant the doctors the wisdom to properly diagnose this problem and give you strength.

So sorry to hear about this, PQ. I pray that the doctors will have great wisdom in diagnosis, and great skill in treatment.

PQ, our wishes are with you, your sweetie and the boys. I'm sure it is a challange mixing the uncertanty of medical and planning for joyful holidays.
You have always been such a strength to all of us on BOL, and hope that a lot of that energy can head back to New England.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please keep us posted.
