I have been having weakness in my limbs for a few years now and I thought I was pass this since I started my compund vitamins and drink a potein drink in the AM.

I don't know if this is the case for anyone else, but it seems I'm having a hard time putting into words (for my Dr. or for husband or for my dairy) JUST how I'm feeling. I realize now that I've been scared so much because of the weakness.
I know the last two medic. my neur. has put me on has caused the weakness to become worse.
One was amitriptyline and the other was GABA (something)

I was to start Phy. Ther. this pass Monday the 14th, I had to cancell because I was so weak.

I thought it was just my legs but yesterday I was trying to write a Thank You note and it look like a young child writting. It took me 4 times for it to look right.

I know this sounds like such a small thing compared to some of the threads I've read, but I'm scared.

I have already put in a call to my Neur. office, but I was needing to talk to you all.
 
Amitriptyline can cause muscle weakness, so that may be what's behind this. You might want to re-schedule the Physical Therapy next time, since it can help with muscle weakness.
 
thanks Nak. I going today at 1:00.

I was beginnin to think I was getting MS.
