Last night I was sitting at home watching tv with my wife. She turns to me and says "you know lately, I've noticed that my arm is weak and my finger gets sore." Now, for anybody that read my recent posts, I am convinced that I'm suffering from MND / ALS (though I have not shared this with her).
Then she says... "if I were you I'd already be freaking out thinking there was something terminal wrong with me."
I could only laugh. It really brought it home to me just how bad my HA is, because those were the EXACT symptoms which kicked off my whole ALS fear two months back, which I am still worrying deeply about. She's been using her laptop waaaay too much - and that's what she's put this down to - just as I'd been using my laptop too much before I got my initial symptoms (after which all the other horrible ones, such as muscle twitching, followed).
I suppose thats the thing about HA - two people can have the exact same symptoms, but when you have HA you irrationally and illogically assume the worst!
