Abby,

Don't ever let the MG take this away from you. Music is one of the most therapeutic things you can do for yourself. When practicing, try sitting sideways by the kitchen table with your left arm propped on the table. Your bow arm will be free. You won't be shifting into higher positions with fiddle music as most of it is in first position. If you want to try classical music research Baroque style - a lot of it authentically was played with the violin on your chest. Do a lot of listening when you're not up to playing.

I know where you're coming from and want you to keep trying. Play for your own enjoyment and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. MG is a crazy disease and it has it's ebbs and flows and just go along with it. Best of luck.
