My weakness in my legs is pretty much all the time now. I get very tired late day. I attribute it to the effort I have to use walking, Now having problems with dexterity of my Upper extremities. I drop things and my hands shake with purposeful movements. Things seem to be going down fast. I need to do more exercise, chair Yoga, stationary bike etc.

I'm able to report some leg weakness at other times of day, but mine is still more apparent in those later hours, 4-ish to 7-ish. I continue to find it mystifying why this should be so. Maybe it's because I'm still in one of the early stages of this illness; that, too. might explain why I still don't have any pain. It's all so very mystifying, isn't it?

I’m so sorry. I am right there with you.
Last night I was having nerve pain in my lower legs and feet so I got my TENS device out and put the pads on my legs and turned it on. I had to turn it up to level 5 intensity before I actually felt it. When I usually put it on my lower back, I can’t stand anymore than intensity 3. So I have some numbness going on there.
It did feel better though after I did for about 20 minutes.
I hear there are 5 stages of this illness. How does one know what stage they’re in?
