Weakness episodes

Hi, I would be really grateful if anyone could tell me whether they have experienced significant weakness in their legs (arms too, but not quite to the same degree, although still alot of weakness by comparison to the norm) that just came on suddenly and lasted around two to three weeks max, before strength came back? I've experienced this twice, several months apart but I still don't know whether it was the MS or one of my other health conditions which caused both episodes, although I suspect MS. Thank you so much x

@dizzyjc , anything which activates our compromised immune system will potentially cause our MS symptoms to flare up. This is referred to as a "pseudo-exacerbation", a temporary worsening of MS symptoms, until the cause of the immune system activation is resolved.

Sounds like a ms exerbation i keep a journal! I'd at least call your nuroligest and let them know they can treat you with steroids to help you get your sttenght back and also psychial thearpy
