Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
weakness in legs could be a symptom of fibromyalgia but most patients tend to complain more of pain.I will say your symptoms is as a result of fibromyalgia.Many other conditions can however cause weak legs most of which are neurologic and metabolic problems but in your cases, given a past history of fibromyalgia, it is the mostly likely cause.Drugs might not always be the best way to go about most medical conditions.I will advise you continue with your life-style measures some of which may include:
-Reduce stress
-Get enough rest
-Exercise regularly and pace yourself
-Eat healthy food and limit caffeine intake.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
