While I have had a slower decline in general, and the comfort of knowing what I have, the last few months have seen a definite drop off in muscle strength. Opening jars, wringing out a washcloth, just lifting my legs, all much harder, so I can certainly empathize, and you are in a scarier place than me, since it has ll been sudden for you.
The book, How to be Sick, is very well written, but it is from a Buddhist perspective. About 3/4 of it is really good, but in later chapters she espouses the work of some dodgy self-help gurus and loses credibility. Check out the reviews before you plunk down cash for it. I did enjoy it and wish she hadn't spoiled it!
Sick and Tired is an unreservedly great book. My husband even read it!
