"Its crazy how our brains function, but the message getting to the legs is so slow that your brain thinks you have taken the three steps when you're really only still on step 1."

AynaDee, you nailed it! I often have trouble explaining to people when they ask what it feels like. Thanks. This will make it easier.

I also tell them that it feels like the legs have been packed in ice and are just thawing out to describe the incoordination, stiff-weakness, numbness and fatigue symptom.

With love, Erika
