Can I say, fantastic piano playing first. I play piano myself and I have lost muscle ability to elongate my right arm. I’ve noticed my body will shift to the side the compensate the lack of movement from my shoulder. I struggle daily with loss of strength and drop a lot of things. And struggle to put my arms above a certain height. Right arm is affected more than the other shoulder. As Im right dominate hand. I have other members of my family that have PM and I get to be assessed soon for more thorough testing.

Nice car! Great content! It was a fun, entertaining, and educational video. Thanks for sharing so candidly, from your condition to behind the scene shooting secrets, it was all quite revelatory :). Awesome job, and stay fighting!! You are in my prayers.

Wow, thanks for sharing and raising awareness. It's sad to see you go through this, but I'm glad you are keeping your good sense of humour.

Nice video. Looks like it doesn’t affect your wpm while programming. Good luck with the treatment when it starts.

I was diagnosed with PM a little over a year ago and some of the problems I have with cars is getting in/out and most of the times don't have the strength to push down on my seat belt to click it closed. Not sure if its the angle or because the part thats attached to the seat sinks in and moves. Its very frustrating.

The back spot looks like a bruise. Does it hurt? Are you repeatedly hitting something while compensating for your reach? Just wondering.
