Weak arms

I am wondering whether anyone shares this symptom? Fibro makes my arms feel weak and shaky. Sometimes, when I'm holding a cup of tea it feels like weight-lifting. At work, lifting up my arms to type feels like a huge effort. I also feel a slight burning sensation in my upper arms. I think this symptom is better or worse on certain days...not quite sure whether there's a pattern to it. I don't have much muscle in my arms - wondering if building up the muscle would help?
