Fatigue In Legs, Quadriceps Are Weak. Diagnosed With Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia
I WAS DIAGNOSED AND SUCCESSFULLY TREATED FOR LYME DISEASE IN 2007. PRIOR TO THAT ILLNESS, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FIBROMYALGIA BUT WAS CAPABLE OF WORKING OUT ON A REGULAR BASIS. I COULD GO TO MY JOB THEN SPEND 2 HOURS AT THE GYM AFTERWARD A FEW TIMES PER WEEK. POST LYME'S I HAVE 6-7 DECENT HOURS A DAY. I HAVE FMLA RESTRICTIONS AT MY JOB DUE TO THE PAIN AND FATIGUE I SUFFER DAILY. SPECIFICALLY, MY QUADRICEPS ARE VERY WEAK AND CAUSE ME A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN AND FATIGUE ALWAYS. THE FATIGUE IN MY LEGS IS MUCH WORSE WITH INCREASED ACTIVITY.
