Default Muscle Weakness

For the past two days my left hand, arm and leg has been very weak....almost to the point of not being able to hold anything or lift my foot. I have to make an effort and concentrate on what I'm attempting to do in order to complete tasks. I've had the leg weakness before but the hand/arm weakness is new. Even typing is hard.....I don't even press hard enough on the keys with my left hand to spell correctly.

Anybody else have extreme muscle weakness? I'm familiar with numbness....my right hand/arm has been numb for close to 2 years now. This isn't like numbness, though. It's almost like it's too heavy to lift...or I don't have enough energy to lift it. It's strange.....

I dropped a saucer of cat food yesterday. Good thing the cat was out of range!! It would have landed on her head!
