Default yes yes Nicky!

Yes! I have really weak neck muscles as well. CAn't sit for too long, or I'll feel like my head's dropping or my neck's hurting like crazy. Nowadays, i don't bother supporting with my arms as my arms are weak too. Lol. Sometimes I just lay back in my chair and lean my head back to rest on the back of the chair...

I started leaning on my elbows all the time, even while eating.

I now notice that I have seemingly permanent bruises on both elbows, but mainly the left from always supporting my weight with that one...I must have some kind of nerve damage (ulnar nerve maybe?). That, along with the TMJ makes me think that MG is a real safety hazard! I think there are probably a lot of secondary conditions that might come from the compensation we have to do in supporting the weak muscle groups.
