Morgan is finally "living". My RND is in remission!
I have RND (reflex neurovascular dystrophy)

My journey through pain began in September of 2007. I went for...

   For a few weeks now I have been slowly loosing muscle even though I have done months of water therapy. I had a reassesment test the other day. The therapist said that I have lost more muscle since the last time that she had examined me. She told me that if it continues that I should worry. What could be causing this. My legs have just gotten so weak. They tremble just while I'm standing. When I try to go from a standing position to a sitting position I almost fall to the chair if I don't sit quickly enough. The therapist thought that it may be a good idea to be tested for MS agian. just to make sure, but I have been tested for so many other diseases so many times. I'm kind of worried, being that I'm told that I have FM, CFS, and arthritis. I didn't think that any of those conditions would cause muscle weakness. Thanks for your inputs.
