Constante,
Clinical weakness isn't just a feeling, it is a physical incapability to perform an activity; like holding a glass, without dropping it.
And, not just dropping it once or twice, but EVERY time you go to drink.
Read "BFS in a Nutshell." It details clinical vs. perceived weakness quite brilliantly.
True weakness doesn't wax and wane throughout the day, is not positional, and doesn't worsen after prolonged activity and improve with rest. Weakness is weakness is weakness is weakness.
It isn't tremoring or trembling or shaking, or rubber bandy sensations.
All of those are VERY common with BFS. In fact, just last night, I was using power bands to work-out, and when I held my arms in a static position with the bands, they shook violently. I even commented to my husband that if I didn't know any better, I'd think I had a serious neurological disorder.
But, I DO know better, because it is only bfs. Period.
Are you on an exercise program? For many of us, exercising regularly does help. It raises your endorphins, and helps you to learn to trust in the strength of your muscles once again.
Blessings,
Sue
