My arms are feeling increasingly weak and leaden. Every night I have to prop them on very soft pillows and they feel as if full of lead. This is ongoing rather than a new symptom but the weakness is slowly increasing during the days too and I find myself carrying things such as plates only for short distances because I feel as if they have no power and I'll drop things. My SFN is much worse again everywhere. Is this all related or am I imagining things? (quite possible as I'm not sleeping a jot!).

When my neurologist tapped my arms I had no reflexes at all this time. I'm still waiting for word on when I might have my nerve conduction studies but starting to fret that things are progressing rather a lot. Hoping not because I'm due to spend a week visiting friends and family in London next week and will be 1000 miles from home and nowhere near my neurologist, rheum or local hospital. So I don't want this weakness,pain and fatigue plus tinnitus to dominate everything while I'm there on holiday or when travelling up and down. It's getting a tad spooky! (Just to add a Halloween touch!)
