Yep, that's the description of my current flare. Been going on since April 1. Imagine those e-stim patches they use in physical therapy in the form of stockings to the mid-thigh. Turn the amplitude up to that threshold where you start feeling/seeing fasciculations, and there you have it! Add the smell of burning matches and burning cigarettes (nobody here smokes), and, well, welcome to my life right this minute, lol! When the burning smells started, my sister and I were in my car, and about 20 minutes into the ride, I finally asked her if she smelled a burning cigarette. "Uhh, no..." It's all so d@mn weird!
I feel totally weak, too, but neuro says my strength is OK, but the sensation of feeling weak, and the sensory stuff points to a lesion in the thalamus. He doesn't want to give me steroids, as I'm already on Tysabri, and he just isn't comfortable stacking immunosuppressants. So, I'm resting. I'm supposed to be training for a 50K ride, but my bike is getting dusty. *sigh*
