Hi Cynthia,
I am 27 weeks along with my 4th single pregnancy. This has happened dramatically with every one, from day one for me. I think it is part of the deal, I know it is for me. Trying to climb stairs is like pulling a stoneboat a mile, I find I get so frustrated it makes me cry, yell, curse. Every muscle is affected much more through pregnancy for me, I even have trouble swallowing and my eyes get stuck looking a certain direction. It is frustrating and I find it makes this period of our lives that should be so beautiful, simply long and exhausting. Some days I just give up, if I've sat down I know it's going to be hard to get back up without help. You're not alone, just count down and it does get better after your body is yours again, at least it does for me. Hang in there.

Type of Myotonia: Thomsen's Disease
