Over-excersize, strain- or work injuries.
Hello hello.
I thought to look for ideas/advice here… It so happens, the doctor who diagnosed me is not simply available, and otherwise my condition is currently a secret for a good reason. But hey, maybe someone else out there could relate?
Basically, my hands are where my sma iv mostly manifests, and I ~might~ be observing it worsening due to work strain.
I could understand degradation due to coordination overuse – e.g., in the past I tried to persist playing guitars, and the intensity of neural effort probably exceeded my motor cortex adaptation, so I could see it getting worse as I pushed myself. But I thought I was reasonably safe doing hard manual labor, because it doesn’t really need lots of nuance coordination? It’s tough times at my slave pits, and I’ve been literally mining hard rock for days. Can this kind of abuse possibly interact with SMA?
Regardless of my current workplace situation, physical outdoor work is my priority, as in, one of the last things I want in life. Neither I nor the doctors could predict future course of my sma, so I went on aiming for my goals while I could. Now I have to think about it again. It’s almost surprising already that nobody notices (or asks?) about my hands, but if things keep going this way, I don’t know how I’m going to persuade employers.
Thanks for tuning in!
