This all went into some sort of strange remission after reaching a peak in May 2011.

The fine motor skills that were affected began improving very gradually and now over a year later I can grasp and shake someone´s hand with adequate grip strength, make a fist, thread a needle, and so on. I can now lift my arms up 8-12 times, and with Mestinon, 35 times.

Swallowing, breathing and ocular problems did however sneak in with a complete life of their own and overlapped the other problems. They just seem to have stuck around these days.

Does anyone else have fluctuating muscle set involvement as well as fluctuating weakness of single muscles? Or is it just me?
