The symptom began and stayed in one foot for a long time and was thought to be caused by nerve entrapment, then a Baker's Cyst. When the other side followed the same path, electrical testing was repeated, and damage was up into the thoracic area, showing a Motor Neuron Disease pattern.
My most difficult period was during the wait for the diagnosis. I chose to trust the Lord with my illness, and His peace has made an enormous difference when compared to how I'd deal with this otherwise. My husband shares this peace and is my caregiver.
I'm still able to read books and hook rugs. :)
