Hello, Laudette... I can imagine how terrifying this can be.
Your post reminds me of someone I knew several years ago, a 40ish man, whose legs did that too.
At first doctors thought it was multiple sclerosis, but with further,
exploration, he was found to have familial periodic paralysis.
This is a defect in the way potassium is used in the muscles and is inherited.
Here is an article to read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_paralysis
It is hard to identify because the potassium levels change so quickly. One has to be tested right when the muscles go limp, in order to see it more clearly.

Please discuss this possibility with your doctor(s).
Also, I'd caution you to not self medicate with potassium, as this disorder has 2 versions, and only a doctor can tell you what to do for treatment. If you try it yourself you may make your problem worse.
