Clumsiness

History

A 66-year-old woman notices that she is having trouble performing some everyday tasks such as doing up buttons on her blouse and chopping up vegetables in her cooking. She complains that her muscles feel stiff, and it is taking her longer than it did to walk to the local shops. She is anxious about these problems since she lives alone and has to do everything for herself. She has noticed a little shakiness which she ascribes to anxiety. Her daughter has told her that it is becoming increasingly difficult to read the small writing in the letters she sends. She is a retired journalist and has no significant past medical history. There is no disturbance of her bowels or micturition. Her appetite has been good and her weight steady. She complains that she has been sleeping poorly and is, consequently, rather tired. She does not smoke tobacco and drinks only occasionally. She has hypertension and takes atenolol 50 mg daily.
