I wonder if it could just be that you are using muscles excessively to make up for the weak ones like I was.

Hi Celeste
I am glad you figured that all out. How we use muscles to compensate for other muscles most affected by fatigable weakness sounds like an interesting topic of study!
I noticed it was symmetrical even though I mostly use one hand a lot. Iīve had recurring symmetrical trigger fingers and operations for them both. Itīs more like a lightning toothache pain but in the hands. I saw that it was in the median, ulnar, and radial nerve areas but I donīt think I have peripheral neuropathy.
But for sure during a flare up of myasthenic weakness I would say I used my hands over-excessively doing very normal tasks whilst relaxing on holiday.
Thanks,
Take care!
