    well now there's a fancy word for my legs feeling weird!

    I'll tell you, it was very unsettling.

    Actually, now that I think about it, I have been sick two times since Christmas, and after I've had a virus in the past, I usually see MS symptoms flare up a few weeks afterward. I'm wondering if that is what's going on here.

    Hopefully this will be short lived!!

      I, too, have balance issues but not nearly as severe as I've read in this thread. However, I thought I'd mention something my pt told me last year. He had my husband build me a simple balance board of 3/4" plywood, 15"X18" with a 15" piece of 2X2" lumber centered on the underside of the long side of the rectangle. He also covered it with a "sticky" mat, so I couldn't slip. I asked the pt if I needed to "balance" the board, and he said not so much. What attempting to balance would do is force the brain to "talk" to the feet. I didn't use the board regularly, but I suddenly noticed my balance was "off", so now I'm back to using it, and I've improved. This might help someone.
