My legs have become very weak like noodles at times. I can no longer step up curbs or steps, my legs won't hold me. I have fallen a to least 4 times. Is this mg?

    My balance is off an hands and head are having tremendous again.

    1. I'm glad to hear you have a swallow test scheduled and that you had the scan done to look into your stomach issues. It’s good to know you’ll see a neurologist soon at Barrows. Sending you good wishes for your upcoming appointments!

  2. Hi there! It’s been a while since we last touched base. It sounds like you're going through a really tough time with your leg weakness and falls. Talking to a healthcare professional about these symptoms is important, as they can help determine the underlying cause. MG is one possibility, but various conditions can lead to similar symptoms. In the meantime, be cautious about your mobility to prevent further falls. Have you considered using a cane or walker for added support?
