Currently suffering back / shoulder problems on my right side, this is causing me to have reduced control of my right hand! .. Struggling with anything of reasonable weight! Hope you have not hurt yourself. Sarah x

Hope you put cold water on it as soon as possible which would help with the scolding.

Sorry Mind not in gear this evening, Hope its improving xx

Yes I drop things all the time trip knock into walls,fall over, sometime my arm just shoots out for no reason and I knock over a drink, awful and embarrassing

YES, I have had this happen too ... although not a jug of hot water! Usually its a glass of water or something. The first time it happened what about 3mths ago. It felt like my hand just stopped working and yes mind just went blank and didn't really know what was going on.

[katrinahug03]

thats exactly how i was wenz15, when i snapped out of it by scolding i was like what the f... happened then

Yes frequently drop things, bump into things all the time and have the sudden arm movements, trip over my feet and lose my balance.

Hope you didn't burn yourself too badly ...might be worth getting it looked at.

[katrinahug03]

im ok tassie, just a litle bit of a red mark but its not burning, hurting or tight and theres no sign of a blister forming, thankfully. its awful when you just cant function like that. i was kinda freaked

Hello - yes this happens to me - when it is bad I have help pouring hot liquids or if I am alone I put just a mug of water in the kettle and stand well back as I pour. I also get the kind of reverse where I hold things and then can't release the grip so have to prise my hand open with my "good" hand. This was embarrassing when I was taking communion and couldn't give the wine chalice back! Fortunately everyone decided to laugh about it "Don't give Lynn the wine - she won't share." LOL.

I hope you are ok re the burn etc.

L.x.

Best wishes
