You may find that grip strength improves, my feet and hands were badly affected, and the constant tingling remains after 13 years. However grip strength has returned, only problem is 'feel', often can't sense if I have got a grip, and usually drop things, sometimes never to be found again !

Normally buy multiple quantity of items, allows for a few to be dropped




Thanks, yup been through the tingle phase (now gone) lack of feel (gone) and finger nails detaching (thank goodness gone) just my hands are as powerful as a child’s. I know it’s a small price to pay for the extra time the treatments have bought me but as someone who worked with their hands, even when I moved off the shop floor I never stopped working on cars, it’s so frustrating. I used to love being able to sit in the +4 and throw the hood over in rain and I regret selling it so much but back then I was convinced it was all over. ;-).

No biggy, it’s a wonderful problem to have given the alternative 😂😂
