Hi Nancy Spires, Alien limb as a symptom of CBGD can not be mistaken for what you are describing. Usually an arm moves as if it
has a mind of it's own. The person has absolutely no control over it. Is not like "freezing". It is not a psychosis. It is not
an autoimmune problem. My husband had CBGD. His mind was clear and good to the very end. If you want me to describe what it is to
have CBGD, let me know. Best wishes, Audrey in Pa.
