Today, I discovered that it is not, in fact, normal for ones hands to randomly stop working sometimes. I thought I was just clumsy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out why I'm always let off easy when I do something wrong at work. They think I have a mental handicap. I don't. I'm just clumsy and forgetful. FML
Today, I realized that over the past few months, I seem to be getting more and more prone to bumping into things, and tripping over nothing. I'm also apparently more prone to getting injured when this happens. I've always been uncoordinated, but this is getting out of hand. I'm falling apart. FML
Today, my klutziness reached a new level. I was walking down a flight of stairs, sneezed, and proceeded to fall down, scraping the crap out of my knees and spraining my dominant wrist. FML
Today, I was looking at myself in the mirror and tried to touch my face. Unfortunately I have Tourette's, so my hand just uncontrollably slammed into my cheek, consequently jamming one of my fingernails into it. It started bleeding like crazy. My fingernails aren't exactly long, either… that's how hard it hit. FML
Today, I smashed my finger with a hammer. A finger on the hand holding the hammer. FML
Today, I noticed that the injury on my hand from three weeks ago no longer hurt. A while later, I accidentally slammed that same hand in a door. FML
Today, I shook hands with a girl and held onto her hand while telling her she had very tiny, delicate hands. When I let go to look at them, I discovered she only had two fingers. FML
Today, my clumsiness reached a whole level when I hit myself in the face with a hammer hard enough for blood to come out. FML
Today, my mom tripped over a curb and cried, because she “tripped and not even drunk.” I thought it was normal to trip over my own two feet several times a day. FML
Today, I accidentally broke a vase. When I was clearing it up, I used my bare hand to sweep up the shards without thinking. I'm still fishing pieces of broken glass out of my hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hope it's nothing serious. In severe cases, that could be a sign of motor skill impairment. Be well, OP.

please go see a neurologist they can help you diagnose what's wrong you may have peripheral neuropathy or some other neurological disorder causing the clumsiness

You honestly thought that was normal?

If you’re not told otherwise, why wouldn’t you think it was normal? I thought it was normal to have period cramps so bad, I looked like I had the flu (I even was told to go to the nurse once in high school because of it).

I have the same problem. Sometimes it's just hands but mostly it's all the way up to the arms. My neurologist couldn't figure it out and neither could the cardiologist or psychological neurologist he referred me to. I hope you have better luck with your diagnosis.

I drop things often. I was told it could be carpal tunnel

I have carpal tunnel and that can cause you to drop stuff more than normal. I have dropped my phone a million times. I've done serious damage even with an OtterBox defender
