Very interesting. While becoming very weak, unbalanced, fatigued sought PT where was given bands and strict instructions to push to develop muscles. I couldn't do it most days and was told MUST work it harder. Muscle weakness got much worse affecting breathing and ability to hold my head up before 5yrs in getting Mestinon and now have been using ADL's to build what muscles the inflammatory disease has not melted away. My abilities vary hour by hour some days and focus is on ability to do the things that let me live independently. I like the dance moves that I have used as ROM even as I was declining, it made a huge difference on the sadness of repeated losses
