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.

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.

Hubby had MRI yesterday. Results not until next Tuesday. I'm really trying to not freak out when we don't even know the results but the doctor is still doing further testing for ALS. I have tears in my eyes as I even type this but all of your thoughts and prayers do help, so thank you again for all of your kind words. I'll keep you posted.
