About Me
I brushing my teeth by moving my head up and down instead of using my right hand. My handwriting resulted in a straight line. It was hard for me to cut my food. Putting on my socks became a daily ordeal. it took a lot of strength to pull my cover over myself, and I had trouble changing positions in the car or a bed. I hardly drive. I have a perception problem and no strength in my voice. I slur my words.Sitting by a table for any length of time was excruciating. i feel this sickness chips away ever so slowly day by day.
