Hi @1Deygoothoan !
I do notice some weakness in my hands from time to time. Since I started having spasticity, my hands can sometimes feel stiff and a bit clumsy, especially when Iβm very tired.
Small tasks like opening jars, fastening buttons or writing for too long can be difficult on those days. I usually just take breaks and try not to push my hands too much. If something is too hard to open, I ask my husband for helpπ
It can be frustrating at times, but I try to adapt and take things slowly.
Take care everyone π

Hi everyone,
Hand weakness is a common and frustrating symptom of multiple sclerosis. Whether itβs difficulty writing, typing, fastening buttons, or opening jars, even the smallest tasks can feel like big hurdles.
