For some months I had noticed that my typing accuracy was deteriorating. Spaces were and other letters were appearing in the wrong sequence. I especially noticed that my typing of the word “the”appeared as “teh”, and was very surprised that the usually smart auto-correct did not seem to have anticipated my problem.
I now realise that this was a consequence of a growing delay in the response of my Right hand when two-handed typing, the “h” arrived out of synchronism with the letters from my Left hand.
The geek in me has been measuring my reaction times via an online reaction test:
https://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime
It suggests a differential delay of ~30 milliseconds, something to watch evolve. My writing was really bad before the steroids, so I expect the latency would have measured far greater then. Incidentally I might have expected my healthy reactions to be faster in my Right hand (being Right-handed).
It will be interesting to see the effect on the graph as time moves on. As the Op. on Monday was only to do a biopsy, I do not expect any immediate changes.
In principle, it would be relatively simple to modify an auto-correct/typo function in software, to flag up a potential health problem based on the differential Left-Right latency.
