Weird heavy arms

Maybe not that common.

Yup. Would try to do my henna treatment on my hair and arms would not like that amount of work, lol... it's time to do it again,a no I am hopeful for improvement!

Yep, I have days where I can't even hold up my arms long enough to get the braid started in my hair. I prefer to have it braided a lot of days just to keep it out of my way, but combing my hair out can end up fatiguing my arms to the point that there's just no way.

This has been mentioned by people here quite a few times; your not alone.

I got like that and limbs would get shaky too, getting stronger now the last three months.

Try to massage and squeeze your arm muscles(hard!) or get someone else to do it. Week and stuck triceps and back of outer shoulder make reaching forward hard to do.

Drawing extended arms in towards you are the chest muscles.

It feels so good to get the circulation going, that dead limb feeling drove me nuts.

For legs- roll slow on a lacross ball on floor- on sides anf front of legs. Tight spots will hurt but get better in time. For back of thighs (hamstrings) sit on top of stairs with lacross ball under thigh- push down and extend lower leg out at the same time.

Tennis balls are to soft but feel better. A Lacross ball makes results.

This is also detoxing the muscles.

Oh my goodness this post somehow makes me so excited!!!

I get weird heavy arms too! My arms also just get weird in general sometimes... when I've overdone it my arms and face go weird - kind of numb and or tingly or stiff. I was tempted to cut off all my hair for a while just to make it easier on my arms.

(I'm new to meeting other people on forums with similar illnesses, so finding out that you all have the same thing going on is exciting... not good, because we all need to be healed. But you get what I mean).

I totally get it. You feel validated? Imagine how you'd feel if you'd been told for years and years all this was in your head, or that your Lyme results were a false positive.

You come on here, or see videos of celebrities describing what their symptoms are on fb., and you go "OMG"! every time, and the tears just roll down your face because they are using words you have used for years and no one 'got it'.

Oh it is awful! For a very long time just showering and then having to dry my hair was such a struggle. I do think it has gotten better since i have been doing Buhner's protocol.

I get this too. Always comes suddenly, always clears ups suddenly.
