Hi Xina, just catching up to this now...I have had one doctor note atrophy in my wrist and people certainly see the "wasting" appearance of the top sides of my hand when I point it out. Other docs have acknowledged what I see, but do not comment. But a NEURO told me there is no muscle in the wrist in the area where I am concerned. Another NEURO told me normal aging hands. I do believe there is something going on will many of us, something that can change our bodies, Leroy, ready to check out, etc...but evidently not mnd. Not saying things haven't changed for you. I have these "humps" on the backs of both hands. Not sure if they are ganglion cysts, but I've written about them before on this board. I find myself looking at everyone elses hands to see if they have them. They don't. They are rare. They formed shortly after bfs started and hurt or ached for about three weeks while they did. I've had issues with dexterity...all of it. I do see my very own mother has the same humps on the back sides of the wrists. Symmetrical - same on each side. She also cramps and just learned she has esophageal spasms too (she tells me while I'm sitting in the gastro office). She describes them exactly as they happen to me. These are not normal things. They are rare things. But, I seem to be like my mom...she has confirmed auto-immune issues. I don't. But there is something here that medical science just doesn't know yet. It does absolutely no good to worry about things that haven't happened and likely won't. In the meantime, it can drive us mad trying to figure it out. I'm doing better on just giving up on that and being satisfied that according to all medical knowledge available at this time, I seem to check out just fine. That doesn't mean I'm still not 100% convinced that something is happening, something is different with me. It may have been caused by stress, for sure it has caused stress. I may have bfs but I won't let it have me one more day.

Also, I get such sensations in the hands. They are often paralyzed in the morning, to the extent I cannot shut of my alarm clock for about a minute. I get tremors - when I least expect like while holding a sandwich out for a pleasant lunch with a friend (embarassing). These things are objective, real, and annoying at best and disturbing at worst and as far as I can tell...relatively harmless.
