   Hi

   I was wondering if anyone might have experience of what I have been getting for the last 6 months.

   I have suddenly developed these seizures (or episodes) where I lose all the strength in my legs and collapse. I also get other symptoms such as blurred & doubled vision, slurred speech (sometimes I am unable to speak at all), confusion and uncontrollable shaking. I have these episodes at least once a week and in between, I am so lethargic and my legs are in constant pain. I can no longer walk a few hundered yards without having to stop and I'm only 22 years old.

   I have had my bloods taken, an MRI scan and an EEG and all have came back inconclusive. They have ruled out epilepsy and MS.

   If anyone knows what this could possibly be, please reply as I am desperate for answers.

   Thanks

   Hannah
