Summary

In her early forties, a 51-year-old woman first noticed fatigue when walking. She attributed this to hollowing of her back and a tendency to push her tummy forward. Later, she noticed difficulty and pain in lifting her right arm. She had never been able to whistle properly. Her parents and sisters did not have muscle complaints.
