Chrissi,You made my day. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have had some weird pain near my thumb in my left hand, that is giving me the whole "perceived weakness" feeling (and of course, this is my left hand, which is naturally weaker than my right) and it has been freaking me out. And, of course, I had a big moment of thumb and finger twitching on the same hand yesterday that threw me for a loop and made my heart rate rise a little! You would think 20 months into this, I would be calmer when I encounter new symptoms. But, I was very happy to hear that you included hand in your areas of "soreness".Mitra
