Hello

I posted on here last week about my fears of MND. I have read the post 'Why you don't have MND' and spoken to my doctor, however the fear is still alive in me and I'm struggling.

I keep finding my speech is off, not pronouncing words correctly, muddling works and (to me) my words seem as though they aren't crisp or clear.

I am having lots of twitching in both legs, which is further adding to my fear.

Now I have a feeling of weakness in my right hand. It feels like when you've been out in the cold for too long and your hands get so cold that it's difficult to write or grip. My hands aren't cold, but the sensation is the same. The other day I went to pick up my knife and my fingers felt stiff and weak. Then today, whilst reading posts on here I read about someone whose mnd started with not being able to grip his fork. This has completely thrown me into a deeper fear - is my hand becoming weak etc etc.

Has anyone else experienced these sensations without it being something bad?

Twitching in legs? Yeh maybe 95% of the earths population.

Hi Sarah,

I have the same as you describe my calves twitch two years ago they started stopped for a while and seem to start up
when I’m anxious about this. I feel like I’m not speaking properly too.
