Dont panic...this is normal for me...i have had 2 use crutches for bot year&half now..go through phases if walk anymore than 10-15 steps my lower body goes into spasm...if was goin further need to use wheelchair & I'm only 42..was in hospital last April & they did every test to rule out other neurological illnesses. I have a 4 wheeled rolater in the kitchen which is great..i'm single parent & like 2 remain as independent as possible. Good for self esteem..use it for cooking & washing dishes on a better day. This is very hard 2 accept but try focus on things you can do & get out wth ur friends to keep ur spirits xx hugs to you xx

My legs have been weak and tighten up with pain and swelling - but I haven't had my legs give out. I continue to do T'ai Chi daily in hopes of strengthening my leg muscles since my knees are bad. Please keep us posted. Love and light.
