Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 << Anyone else experience severe muscle weakness during a flare? Has it ever gotten to the point where you wonder if you can even walk, or are scared of trying to walk, and have your legs fall out from under you? I am having this going on to me right now.. is it CFS related? Thanks, >> This is one of my biggest problems of all time. I rest a lot and work less and feel guilty when I work less. Sometimes my muscles feel like water. LOL I have little advice. Only sympathy. Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! < lll }:*>~ < lll Not all who wander are lost............................................................

At the best of times I have to remember to lift my feet when stepping up on to stairs or sidewalks from the road. Right now I am having a flare and I am not falling although that does happen when I am in a flare but staggering around like I am drunk.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Hi , I remember feeling that way, like my legs would collapse. What I found was that anxiety made it worse. I took Xanax back then, and it did help a lot.
