Good morning, I’m new to the forum and this is my first post (been a reader for a while). A little about myself, I’m a 30 year Navy vet, was a big runner and gym rat before all this started about 5 years ago, it is amazing to see the drop in activity. Now just weed whacking the yard causes hands and trunk cramp, I have to take a break every couple of minutes. The spasticity is the worse; the meds seem to help some. Enough of that, my Doctor says he has it down to two things PLS or HSP, (personally I think PLS). The Doc said he would call it PLS it I displaced more muscle weakness, I have terrible muscle fatigue, it seems my arms and shoulders some days get fatigued just while I’m standing. Do all of you experience noticeable muscle weakness; I have experienced some but can still do a lot. I followed Wendy’s post from a few weeks ago; her initial post nailed almost every one of my symptoms. Looking forward to you reply’s, thank you.
