Summary

A 55-year-old woman was referred because of increasing complaints about her legs for a few years. She had a continuous ‘heavy feeling’ in her legs and buttocks. There was no difficulty with walking or climbing stairs, but cycling was increasingly difficult. She had a dry mouth, which impaired swallowing.
