Moneesha, I advocate making music, and the more, the better. (This is my secret cure for the world's problems!) Prem should not give up on music. I would say that perhaps he should try other instruments and see if he can find one on which he can play something satisfying, and take it from there. Playing a vibraphone, for instance, is an entirely different bag than guitar, and it's really easy to make nice sounds on it. And then there are wind instruments, etc, quite the variety. Or, have you ever seen a dijeridoo? Fascinating instrument. Bagpipes? Jaw harp? Ukelele? Glockenspiel? Prem may be able to find another, fulfilling way to make music. Hey, I think I've come up with an interesting new combination of instruments! I'll have to write a tune for it. Enjoy!

One of the first things he lost after his diagnosis was the fine motor skills required for this. He kept trying, but eventually has given up on the guitar. He also had to give up on the computer, because he could not get his fingers to do what he wanted with the mouse. And, as you say, Rick, the anxiety does not make things easier.
