Jeanau, thank you for your personal message. It is somehow helpful to know that I am not alone, that you know exactly, exactly what it is like to go through this. Unlike you, my symptoms started suddenly in mid November. I'm sorry you are progressing more quickly now. I understand what you mean about your hands. My arms have started to get weaker, and today I burst into tears after playing the piano, realizing that my piano days are numbered. Each loss I offer up to The Lord, telling Him I trust Him and love Him. What else can we do in our situations but fix our eyes on Jesus. I cry out to Him over and over. So many people are praying for healing. I do find comfort in faith and prayer. I feel badly for you, newly retired and looking forward to relaxing and doing new things after years as an educator. Jeanau, let us pray for one another.
