Hold it: grip testing

I should temper any over-eager anticipation with the drug trial: this isn't a cure, but the drug may return some strength to people suffering from ALS/MND.

There's also a 1-in-4 chance that I'm taking a placebo.

I'm doing this, regardless of the pill, because I simply wish to help with the research.

All that being said, my follow-up appointment at Hopkins this morning showed some small improvements in my test scores. My breathing capacity was the highest ever seen in the clinic. My grip, while not notably stronger, was more consistent over time. My upper body, which has weakened most, showed some small gains in strength.

Maybe it's adrenaline, or maybe it's the drug.
