Remember last week, when I told you about a medical test I had done at the behest of my neurologist?  He was concerned that, in addtion to Myasthenia Gravis, I might have something else causing weakness in my hands.

This was the test where they plunge a needle deep into your muscles to listen to them scream or something.  Well…my previously pain-free arms and hands are now constantly re-living that test by shooting electrifying pain up and down my arms.

Yet, I tried to make some physical art.  I decided to paint what I know.

And this week, I know that my hands hurt. This small acrylic on black canvas painting is an attempt to show what my hands feel like at the moment.

I really hope this crap clears up soon. It’s been almost two weeks, and it’d be nice to be pain-free again.

It didn’t hurt any more painting that it does when I’m not painting, but my patience for doing anything at the moment is pretty low.
