So I know walk around like a zombie, letting my arm hang.

Hi Rich,
I'm with you on this one...my left arm/hand have atrophied significantly, and my right side is certainly going downhill as well. I have lost more than two thirds of my strength on my left side, and frequently lose circulation in my upper extremities. The loss of circulation used to only occur in raised positions, but now I notice I can't hold a book up, run for extended periods of time, open jars or bottles, etc.
I'm getting surgery up in Boston at the end of this month...hoping and praying the operation gets me back to feeling like I'm actually 24 years old.
