My right hand, the one I write with, has decided not to work this week. Just had physio and had to cut it short because it was so painful! Not happy 
Oh bums!

My left hand has been affected from the start but I’m right handed so no biggy. I didn’t realise my right hand had joined the party until I looked at something I had written – no letters just squiggles: buggar!
Jane
Thank you everyone you’ve made me smile and feel so much better and Ellie, I now feel the need to eat a chocolate orange 
hiya again

Pat that’s exactly what I said to the physio and i also I’d quite like to train my left hand to write
Hi, like you i reckon I have lost around 2.5 stones this year. Cant get weighed, but sis says I look much slimmer from the back. Shame am I seated all the time, as all the flab at the front shows TOO much!
Been a tad naughty of late…christmas cake and i think it`s ok to start eating it already! Must try harder. Well done you!
luv Pollx
hi poll
it was unintentioal! due to not tasting the enjoyment has gone from eating. tho last night i was at thornton chocolate night! if u get the chance to do then do it! cost was £5 but u got free coffee,several chocs to sample then a bag when leaving containing a good size box of chocs. i can just taste vienesse truffle-my fave!

Hi, I think it would be possible to train your left hand to write, at least a bit anyway. It’ll take time and perseverance but you will get better. My right arm has been not quite right recently too. Cheryl:-)
Like Jane it is my left arm that has been troublesome from the start. Recently it has worsened making doing all things harder - although I am rh! Teresa xx
I am right-handed, but MS has caused enough weakness and tremor in the right hand/arm that I can no longer write or hold a writing implement.
Have to type wherever possible now, but my keyboard skills weren’t great to begin with
Using my left hand more and more now, but re-learning to write with my left hand has to wait in line behind dressing, washing, preparing meals, carrying hot drinks etc.
Fine-control seems to be the biggest challenge …but we’ll keep trying !!
Fine motor control is my biggest annoyance and frustration because it makes me feel stupid, especially when I have to get Gareth to cut my food and pick things up because I can’t grip it or have the strength. Grrrrr
That’s one of my issues not been able to handle a knife and fork, but my kids keep lifting my spirits when I’m struggling by saying " mum fingers were invented before knives and forks" lol
