CLL, Diabetic, dialysis, afib

[sylsherbs]

I want to ask if anyone has troubling walking all of a sudden. There are days my legs give out. Does anyone know if it’s my newly diagnosed CLL or diabetic for 30yrs or my kidneys. I am on dialysis now for 8yrs treatments three times a week. ?

Do your legs give out suddenly (from the sciatic nerve) or from getting tired and you feel like you need to sit down? Is this new?

It’s funny you would my sciatica nerve has bothered me last 6months.?I’m definitely not tired

[CycleWonder in reply to sylsherbs]

The sciatic nerve firing up can definitely affect your legs. I would let your doctor that helps you manage your diabetes know.

Are you on any treatment for CLL?

Not to scare you but the first sign of ALS can be like this. My mom fell flat on her face when her legs gave out. Later she was diagnosed but at the time we didn't realize what's happening. If you start losing weight, feel weak in the legs, have a blurry speech or feel like your temples are numb, you'd have more reasons for concern. Just something to keep in mind.
