Suddenly, thanks. At first I thought, no, that's not it--I'm not hyper-extending them on purpose. They just slip back. But now I'm not so sure. Maybe I am doing it to compensate for other weaknesses. Isn't it weird how little you can understand what's going on in your own body--even when it's a matter of voluntary muscles? When I first noticed symptoms of MG, my doctor and I thought it was inner ear trouble, because my balance was off. It took months to realize it was weakness in the muscles of my sides (and I'm still not sure which muscles). We were so far off.

Anyway, that's very helpful. Annie, I will, of course, mention it to my neuro, and maybe he'll send me to a PT or something, but I frankly have very little confidence in that route. Meanwhile, this disease is always shifting on me.
