Muscle weakness is often present due to neuromuscular involvement. Lung defects (B) are not typically associated with the mentioned conditions. Insomnia (D) is a sleep disorder and not a common finding in these conditions. Choices F and G are not provided but would also likely be incorrect unless relevant to the specific conditions mentioned.
