Thank you Starznight and others for the info. I was always under the impression (apparently incorrectly) that MS symptoms were rarely on both sides at the same time. Like maybe a weak leg one day and the other leg would act up the next time? My symptoms are almost always identical and symmetrical. I get feelings of weakness in both arms or both legs that come and go. I love to jog and couldn't go more than 1/4 mile last week. It was like I couldn't propel myself forward any faster no matter what I did, so I walked. They felt strange - like they were someone else's legs! Then the next day I was able to jog 3 miles without a problem. I am truly at a loss.
Thanks for the info. I am currently being worked up for MG, but the symptoms don't quite fit.

At the time of my diagnosis: I was numb from the waist down, bilateral leg weakness, bilateral pins/needles (legs), bilateral vibration/buzzing (legs), tremors (both hands). There were other symptoms. Mine did not come and go. They stayed for the entire diagnostic process then, steroids and I still had a difficult and long haul. It took a year of frustration, tears, pain and fatigue to regain my mobility. Then I had my second relapse and it began all over again.

I'm considered disabled by my MS, but I only have one lone little unchanging lesion in my brain and a couple of indistinct spots, that could be from head injuries, old lesions, developing lesions or just who the heck knows. But the deciding factor for my Dx was the lumbar puncture
I received my handicap placard shortly after diagnosis. My MRIs were clear, my Lumbar Puncture was positive (o-bands).
