Thank you for sharing! My B12 is okay (425 and the normal range is 230-1,050), but maybe I should start taking it cause it can't hurt.
May I ask how long it took your legs to get back to normal function? And how did it resolve, did you gradually start exercising more/walk more each day? Or was it medication?
It's been about 6 months of this for me. Granted, I have been very sedentary because when I overdo it with walking or at PT then I am super sore and wiped out for a few days after. It's just a delicate dance and so hard when I don't have a diagnosis/answers.

You may have something different from me. But, I don’t recall all my tests. I do recall I had high inflammation. I have type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, and psoriasis. Most of my dad’s side of the family has autoimmune too, mainly rheumatoid arthritis, some lupus, psoriatic arthritis and Type 1 diabetes.
As I recall, my weak legs lasted about a year. The improvement was gradual. The strength took a long time to regain and I wish I had gotten PT for it. I might try myofascial release or some kind of hands on treatment. I would if it happened again. I wasn’t prescribed any med, except Ibuprofen. Maybe, I needed a med….idk.
I kept moving everyday though. It was very difficult to get off the couch or to get in snd out of my car. It was a struggle. I felt very scared and frustrated. But, I worked most days and was hardly ever out due to it. I pushed hard to keep going, but run my own law practice and had no choice. I would handle things differently today.
I certainly hope they can figure yours out. I know that kind of thing can be very stressful and painful. Please post your findings. I am so curious, as I’ve wondered what caused mine.
