Question.

[conuly]

Is it normal to feel like the non-dominant side of your body (the right side, in my case) isn't all there? Like the only real arm is the left arm, and that you're really just seeing out of the left eye? My right arm works fine, feels fine, same with the right eye, I see the same with both eyes, binocular vision, everything, but I often can't shake the feeling that the right side isn't there.

This is a long-term thing, not a sudden fear. Just a puzzlement.

Mine isn't that it's not there, just that it's not "as capable" on my upper left body...I'm right handed, but I've noticed that on a few things (like decidedly last night while copying/hole-punching/notebooking music sheets for my mom) I do better with my left. Usually I'm pretty good at "training" my left hand to do something, other times I do it without thinking. I steer cars (partially because I'm used to driving a stick-shift) and ride horses mostly left-handed. Fine detail,though? It's VERY sloppy left-handed, but doable.
