My post is about arms that feel almost back to normal.

When a few years ago I searched, I never came across examples from real people and thought I was going nuts.
So I just thought I would add my list of worst myasthenic moments involving the arms from previous years.
If these examples helped just one single person even in a small way it would be worth writing the list.
I now know others have similar and some have even worse. These are not categorized in any muscle group order.

Unable to/unable to continue to:

1. Open jars
2. Wash hair without arms resting
3. Hold childīs hand
4. Finish sharpening a pencil
5. Turn a key
6. Type more than one sentence
7. Put on stretchy sock
8. Finish strumming short song on guitar
9. Finish a round of applause
10. Grasp and hold out bed sheets
11. Open a packet of chips etc
12. Turn more than 3 pages of a newspaper
13. Hold up an umbrella in the rain
14. Hold a telephone to my ear
15. Finish writing a sentence
16. Use a screw driver
17. Squeeze toothpaste
18. Shake someoneīs hand with normal grip
19. Thread a needle
20. Pull small weeds
21. Wrap presents
22. Pour coffee from a thermos for guests
23. Lift weight of own arms
24. Carry objects without dropping them
25. Pass things across the table
26. Hold the steering wheel of the car for long
27. Stir the cake mix
28. Empty dishwasher
29. Cut or peel vegetables
30. Hold a door open for person coming behind
31. Brush teeth without loosing strength & speed
32. Put on make up without elbows pressed into stomach
33. Squeeze water out of a cloth


I guess that covers a fatigable arm somewhat
