Collapse - legs won't do anything?

Hi Does anyone else have similar experience? My energy levels can feel charged and I feel strong but after a short distance say trying to take dogs out or today sorting rubbish bins out my legs cannot walk at all. Strangers have been very kind helping me get home. But I feel so stupid my mobility is now limited but are these sort of 'attacks' are unusual. Normally I rely on one stick and if I am not so good I can use two sticks. But after meditating I do feel stronger- my 'pay as you go' is refuelled. So does anyone have similar experiences ?

This kind of fatigue has dogged me for ages. I used to be a sporty type, playing football, walking, swimming, etc., so I know my legs aren't weak. But, my brain seems to think that they can't do too much. I use two sticks and my range is severely limited. If I go too far, my brain just says that my legs can longer hold my body weight and I crumble. It keeps life interesting............

Thanks very much for your reply - its somehow so good to hear your experience. This disease can be quite isolating at times. The way you describe it is exactly how it feels ! I get stuck in all sorts of places. Like you I used to be very active running a lot etc maybe that is such a difficult adjustment. Naw I have grown to love swimming, you can't fall over when I am in the pool. It is just difficult to adjust my expectations. So thank you.
