I have been having a weird sensation in my legs if I go from laying to standing. My left leg feels normal, but when I go to stand it just gives out. I have fallen several times, but it's really starting to worry me. I go see my Rhuem next week, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I had this happen to me twice ...last year...before dx.  I just said I had fallen twice.  THEN...dx came.  After reading some of these posts, I realize it could be related.  Don't understand the whys of it.  I do not recall feeling dizzy or lightheaded as I stood-then fell-either time.  I have been VERY careful and sure footed since.  If you learn something, let us know.

Get that checked.  Could be neuropathy but other things cause that as well.

Keep us posted.
