Yes same here, it comes and goes very hard to explain how I feel to people. And nothing helps but going to sleep even though I wake up feeling the same way most of the time.

Yep. That's why the first symptoms I had I thought I was having a stroke. It comes and goes. Sometimes more right sometimes the left.

The hand weakness and tremors also come and go. And change up sides. Legs are mostly right side. Very hard to explain to dr's.

I haven't had drooping but feels more like it creeps over me. And like Novocain was rubbed on my skin. Makes me "twitchy" I have to concentrate very hard to do simple tasks  that I used to take for granted.
