Having lost the ability to walk just 30 days after being diagnosed, the MND has been relentlessly progressing. In the past few weeks I have noticed marked deterioration in both of my arms, with the right arm more affected than the left. However, in the past two or three days, the left arm has gotten considerably worse, leaving the right one suddenly playing catch-up.
I am really fearful of life without functioning arms. I am already dependent on others for so many things, although I try to do things for myself, but I dare not even try to imagine how useless I am becoming and will be. I have also noticed changes in my hands - yet another scary sign.
Does anyone have a trick for coping with an utterly useless body, please?
* OK, grumble over. Still fed up, though.
