ok... I know we all have fatigue and all that, but I was just wandering...
I get really bad muscle weakness, where it feels like my muscles don't want to perform even for the smallest tasks, like chewing. My facial muscles will tire out half way through eating. Now I find myself eating mushier and softer foods. I get that feeling in my arms and legs, too, like they want to just quit. like when I flip through a book or write. My legs feel that way when I walk so many feet or go up 1 flight of stairs.They also tend to feel like they want to "melt" off my bones or become jello. These symptoms are becoming more and more apparent to me.
After yesterdays doc appt and then reading about some things on the internet, i'm not so sure it's part of the fibro anymore and a bit scared it may be something else over lapping w the fibro. Does any else experience what I just described? Should I be concerned?

MS was already ruled out for me. But because of my kidney problems, my doc is testing me for lupus next.
chacha,
i've tried all you have mentioned. The ribose is ok, I get better thinking clarity, but hasn't prevented muscle weakness. The vit B12 didn't make me feel much different, but I still take it for memory problems.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I appreciate it.
If its Facial, then I would see a massage therapist, because your muscles probably need to be loosened up, and there are facial-exercises you can do in front of a mirror (The Lion-yoga).
Best-Wishes
I know i got to pace myself.
