Last Friday night (week ago) when I went to bed I was able to bend my arm normally for the most part, had severe cramps through the night in both arms simultaneously. Upon awakening Saturday AM, I no longer able to move my arm at the elbow beyond 90 degrees position inward and unable to straighten my arm out. This disease is incredibly fast in how it is like a thief in the night robbing movement. Others who have lost movement, was it fast like this or more gradual for others? Thankfully I can position my arm to still type (today) but no longer can scratch an itch on my head, or eat with my right arm (I am right handed). Learning now to awkwardly feed myself with my left arm. When one arm starts, how long before it may hit left arm?
