Muscle weakness

[Dealara]

Hey everyone, i have such a muscle weakness especially my legs, it feels weird when i use them to walk, it's like mild ah i can't really describe it . I'm scared of having multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis lately

Hey, anxiety can make your legs feel like jelly or make your muscle weak. I have experienced it as one of my symptoms. The best bet if youre worried is too see you doctor and get everything checked out. That way you will always have in the back of you mind that youre fine if all is well.

It's so weird that the symptoms getting worst when you're thinking about it .

Hi,

Anxiety can definitely make you feel wobbly all over. Like you are disconnected with your body. It will pass. Best wishes!

Try not be afraid of something that is not likely to happened. To eliminate your fears, see your MD. I know it's hard not to worry....been there, done that.

You had muscle weakness too ? Yea i went to see neurologist last night, he said that i have to stop googling about scary diseases

Your doctor is probably right. I have tingling in arms, legs, and feet. No explanation from my neurologists, yes I've been to two of them. Needed a second opinion. It doesn't bother me thought, just annoying.

I'm sorry, I know that's scary. Everyone I've ever spoken to who's had long term anxiety has feared they had MS at some point. It's like an anxiety rite of passage. I've been to a neurologist more than once. One time it wasn't just a feeling, I actually had a slight drag to my foot. Turns out I was crossing my legs too much and the cure was to stop crossing them.

I hope you can check with your doctor to be sure, and then you can put your mind at ease.

What kind of tests that your neurologist do ? My neurologist didn't say anything he just said that it's just in my mind . I hate that sometime mimic the symptoms i read, make me feel sick !

You're probably okay but I'm disappointed that s/he didn't perform tests. Mine put needles in my legs and hooked it up to a machine that sent electric impulses. Somewhat unpleasant but effective. I notice that not many of us here are from the US as am I, do I have this correct? The doctors here are terrified of being sued so the good part of that is they would never say you are okay without testing. I suspect he knew the problem right off but tested to make sure. Also, before I walked in he sent me for a MRI. I'm not a trusting person (anxiety symptom) but those neurologists are no regular docs, they're usually pretty smart. I know it's scary.

My neurologist said that for now i have no indication to ms/mg . But i hate that i often mimic the symptoms that i read in internet !!!! It's frustrating

When I had serious symptoms I was elated that they found it was benign. But If you're like me when you're having a vague cluster that feels so real, you're hoping for something small they can fix and then you can stop feeling awful - that's the dream. I wish I had some good advice. My therapist is going to try "hypnotherapy" on Friday. I don't hold out much hope but I will give it a try. I hope we can all figure something out.
