Musicians Dealing With BFS

[Fjordian]

Hi all, I was wondering if there are any musicians here and how you deal with bfs?For me it's just a hobby but sometimes it's very difficult to play music when my symptoms flare up.I play keyboards/piano. When my symptoms started I didn't/couldn't play music for a few months.Due to extreme fatigue, cramps, tingling, stiffness and pain I could hardly play one or two songs.Last weeks/months things has improved for me but I notice that I still have trouble when playing for example fast notes or hard velocity.While playing I experience that I have very cold hands and some stiffness so probably that's the cause.So just wondering if there are any musicians and if your symptoms does affect your playing?

I play bass as a hobby and luckily have never been negatively impacted by my symptoms. I've never had fatigue, cramps or stiffness (knock on wood) so I'm fortunate in that respect. I feel for you, though. It's bad enough that this condition messes with our minds on a regular basis; it's even more frustrating when it impacts our activities.
