Lynn - Sometimes my muscles get so tired that simple tasks become huge. I know mentioned this in the fatigue thread but sometimes I my arms get so weak and tired just from brushing my hair. Showers are such a huge challenge too. I can feel my muscles getting tired in there and then tensing up to keep me standing up and balanced, which then makes them more tired and they tense up more and, sometimes, by the time I get out of the shower, one of my muscles ends up in a full spasm. I now have a shower chair and that helps some but since I don't have a hand held shower I still have to stand up to rinse off and such.
