Yes, I've experienced this a lot. My weakness seems to be mostly in the left side of my body. I've dropped lots of stuff. On some days, just lifting my arms to wash my hair tires me for the rest of the day.

I just got back from a vacation, and we had a jacuzzi in the hotel. I knew I can't tolerate heat, but I went in it anyway. I was outta there in five minutes, and my entire body turned into jelly. I couldn't move for a few hours. I won't be getting in a jacuzzi ever again!

I know what you mean with the hot tub. I did the same thing on vacation before I realized I had MS. Got out of hot tub then had to climb a staircase to get to the bed in the loft. I didn't know what was going on. So I did it again. So many things make since after the dx.

Amen to that, Friend2U. Hindsight is everything. I booked this beautiful inn with a fireplace (?) and a jacuzzi, and I couldn't really enjoy either, though my husband did. On the other hand, I did save a ton of money on my home heating bills this winter.

Hi, I 'only' have left arm and right leg numbness at the moment. There are days when I think I'm getting weaker, but it ususally passes quickly. Oddly, I have craved hot baths recently with no adverse effects (pre dx)

When I read what is happening to you all, it makes me very sad and fearful for my own future. Not that I'm sticking my head in the sand, but I'm hoping for all I'm worth that I don't get any worse.

This sucks
