It's hard to say is this the first time? I know some days I wake up and I'm weak but then other days I'm stronger than the day before. It just started happening two weeks ago for me while I was with the neuro she had me doing different movement that I was able to do in the past appt but couldn't do that day.

She checked the MRI I had done 2hrs before the appt and didn't see anything wrong so she just told me to rest when it happens.

I've always had muscle weakness but recently it has been stronger since last week. I have been resting but I'm scared to pick things up with my left hand.

If this is new, I would report this to your neurologist. Let us know what you find out.

How are you doing today? RoseySawyer have things gotten better, worse same?

Fever, heat, stressed out about anything? Do you think you might have an infection?

Do not take it lightly Rosey. YOU have come a long way.

Thank you. Today has been better then yesterday. I'm still going to call my Neuro tomorrow to see if she feels if I need any test done like MRi's or UTI.

Yes, tell your Neuro. All kinds of muscle weakness is par for the course, BUT, let a doc know. And just about anything can trigger it. My last bout of weakness that I couldn't ignore, lasted for years and years. But, it too slowly went away pushing through it for years. BUT, it can be back in an instant due to heat, stress,... Luckily they now only last for short durations. Hours not days, weeks, or YEARS. My neuro's never seemed phased by it saying it was par for the course. He/she will give you more info.
