Default My myasthenic arm question!

Apart from drug induced identifiable triggers, the myasthenic weakness I have is now extremely mild
and restricted mainly to the arms which have previously had the longest and most severe myasthenic involvement.

A normal person would also say some days their arms are weaker than other days.

So if without any ongoing exercise routine, one day you can lift your arms 8 times and they
suddenly turn to concrete - and another day its 15 - and then the next week its 6 lifts.

Is this also a non-myasthenic normal variation?

(Worst was a couple of years ago where arms were pretty much dead even before lifting them at all.
Best was in the summer - 35 lifts with Mestinon where feeling of falling concrete disappeared completely)

Thanks in advance,


Anacrusis
