I call it spaghetti legs.... My legs can't move they shake n can't move? Anyone else?

East Windsor, NJ

I call it spaghetti legs.... My legs can't move they shake n can't move? I went to the hospital a few times because they thought it was "TA" before a stroke. Wasn't. My legs will shake n when I walk they get jelly and dangling.. It hurts more but not crazy. It's more scary and can last 48 hrs? Anyone else have this?

Members shared experiences with severe leg weakness and shaking that can last from hours to several days, with many describing hospital visits and extensive testing that revealed no clear cause despite stroke-like symptoms. Several members found relief through rest, massage, medications like Atenolol, and practical adaptations such as stair lifts or wheelchairs, while others noted the scary connection between these episodes and other fibromyalgia symptoms like headaches and loss of coordination. A recurring theme was frustration that doctors rarely connect these frightening symptoms to fibromyalgia, met with solidarity and encouragement from the community to keep seeking answers and never face these challenges alone.

I started shaking 4 week's ago. It's like a constant quivering it's exhausting. Weak in the legs too. The Dr did a 24 hour urine test still waiting for the results. It was for adrenal gland test. I have all the symptoms right down the page. He gave me Atenolol it seems to help with the visual shaking but I'm still wobbly a bit. Just my second day on the new med. Let's see if I count them all up that makes 13 meds. I'm quickly becoming a toxic mess of meds.

standing and walking on my legs for more than an hour, they start shaking so I have to sit a few minutes for them to calm down. when/if I continue to be on them within that day then they spasm out during the night but is ok the next day.
