The curl of the hand/hook/motor skills while being (affected side)




This is where the most of the problem comes from if anything. It is very hard once my hand grips up and curls and then the hook presents itself. I have recently; been at certain events for family and family friends where I have not finished my meal or drink because of the curl occurring. Does it stink? Yes, but I figure out a way to ensure that it does not disturb my life too much. 

Example) I was at a friend’s party and we were having cake. I got so nervous that my hands were not functioning to the best of it’s ability. I threw away the rest of the cake as it was ice cream and made a joke out of not finishing that being surrounded by those I did not know. This provided protection for myself from those that I fear would not understand or just met me.  I had noticed this for some time with miso soup. I love Sushi and getting this as a starter. The price is normally right too! 

Advice; Keep doing what you are doing. However; realize that not everything is going to be perfect with the curl of the affected hand. Take your time to ensure you can eat or drink what you have in front of you.  I would suggest, like myself, to put your item down and wait a few minutes to calm down, leave the anxiety and stress. If it does not stop or to get comfortable; I would suggest have it to go or be done with what you are drinking or eating. I need to concentrate on the item to eat or drink; ensure you focus turns to that. Then, take your time and eat or drink the item.
