    There is no doubt I see some of that happening with my LGMD2L. I drop things and fumble things more so I have to learn to take my time and be more careful. I also know left arm and hand better so learning to use non dominant hand more.

      Dear Dani,

      I see the posr, but can’t get it to open.

      Do you have any suggestions?

      TIA.

    The biggest thing I’ve noticed when it comes to atrophy in my hands is that I can’t open water or Gatorade bottles hy myself anymore. I have to ask someone else to open it for me, which is somewhat embarrassing. I also struggle with opening my prescription bottles.

    Laura,

    I have a hard time opening Gatorade bottle as well when I’m feeling particularly weak and fatigued. I never really noticed any weakness in my hands and arms until middle school. I played guitar for about two years and after I had to give that up I turned to song writing.
