Can chickenpox cause muscle weakness?

DD is 11 months old and got her first chicken pox spots on Monday. She was very nearly walking independently and was striding confidently around the room, just holding on to my hand for reassurance. She was a bit more wobbly on Thursday , a lot more on Friday and today her leg seems to wobble and give way under her when she pulls herself up against furniture. I'm kinda freaking out - is this normal?

Please get this checked out as chicken pox can cause all sorts of secondary problems eh infection, reactive arthritis. 111 definitely.

I did see the GP yesterday but he just said that lots of babies aren't walking at this stage and was unconcerned.

Would 111 help or just say to see the GP on Monday?
