Thanks, Annie!

Hope it's OK to repeat myself from the other thread, in case more people see it here.

When my arm, neck and leg muscles are weak, I feel a sensation of fatigue in them. They feel like I've just done something physically strenuous, even though I haven't. Even if I'm lying down, I have that feeling of fatigue in my muscles. It's not soreness, really, though if it were a more intense feeling I might call it that.

When my side/back muscles are weak, I don't feel any particular sensation in them; they just don't work properly. In fact, I'm still not sure which muscles exactly are making me tilty from the waist up.

I'm asking if anyone else (besides DesertFlower, who answered affirmatively in the other thread) has these two--subcategories?--of muscle weakness. And, of course, what does it all mean?

Thanks again. These sorts of discussion are really valuable. They can help us communicate more clearly with each other and with our doctors.
