	This is a real quicky. It's neat. It's quick. I like it.

	A 52-yr old housewife comes in with two complaints. Over the past few 
months, she had dropped 7 dishes, and had to switch to washing dishes with
her left hand, at which point the china breakage stopped. She also said that
she had trouble holding a pencil while writing, and dropped it repeatedly.
(Oh yes, she is right-handed.)
	She also has another symptom, but hasn't noticed it. Additionally,
there are findings you can elicit on physical exam. To tell you which would
give away the answer.

	What is the most likely diagnosis?
