Glad to have stumbled onto this sight. I am undiagnosed at this point. My symptom is muscle weakness in both arms and legs. I was hospitalized at Thanksgiving, given if steroids for 3 days which got me back on my feet but never back to 'normal' then after a tooth was pulled and I had an infection, the oral prednisone was not enough, so back to hospital in March for 5 day plasmapheresis. That worked great! Downfall was it only made me strong for about 6 weeks, now I am back to being weak.. Chairs and stairs are my biggest issue but walking any distance can be a challenge as well.

When all this started I did get referred to neurosurgeon for cervical spinal stenosis but was told I was not a surgical candidate. Now still undiagnosed my Neuro has called me an enigma. He is sending me for 2 nd surgical opinion. My PCP selected another neurologist through Rush University Chicago, trouble is 1st avail appointment is taking one month to see any dr in the group. I am holding out hope for possible different diagnosis, if treatable.

MRI done twice shows legions but they are non-descript and do not light up with contrast. Lab messed up spinal tap test, only tested for 2 of 3 tests for ms. Had the spinal headache even when following instruction to avoid.
Anyone else have muscle weakness as only symptom?
