Weakness that fluctuates during the day
Fluctuating weakness is muscle weakness that changes over the course of the day, often worse in the evening or after repeated use of the muscles. Morning strength may be relatively normal, but muscles tire more quickly than expected. This pattern is characteristic of specific neuromuscular conditions.
