Yes, I get weakness, too. Especially in my already compromised right arm and hand.

I've noticed my legs have been weaker than normal lately and I'm assuming it's the heat. My A/C has been running nearly all the time lately...I dread getting that electric bill.

I was in the grocery store day before yesterday (luckily my son took me) and I don't know what I would have done had I been alone. I nearly collapsed just waiting for him to drive the car up to the sidewalk so he could load the groceries into the trunk. All I had to do was sit in the air conditioned car!! I can remember going grocery shopping, loading and unloading everything, putting it all away and then doing umpteen more things all before lunchtime! Now....just getting up and getting a shower is an exhausting task.

It'll get better once this heat subsides. I just keep telling myself this. You'll get better, too. Still, though, it's frightening when it's happening. Hang in there.....
