I bet everyone on here is sick of MS posts. And I get that the symptoms of anxiety mimic it and that's where most of the reassurance comes from. But what do I do when I'm worried that my husband has MS, and he doesn't have anxiety so I can't reassure myself that it's just anxiety? He got up from his desk at the end of the work day and nearly fell down when he got to the stairs because his knees felt weak for no apparent reason. The same sort of thing happened to him once last year when he got out of bed in the morning and immediately toppled over and his legs were shaking like anything. That was a long time ago now and I wonder whether he just has poor circulation but I get so horribly worried when things like this happen :(

That sounds like postural hypertension, a sudden dip in blood pressure when you stand up too quickly. It's really nothing to worry about but he should probably be seen by a doctor if it continues.

Thank you, he's been okay since it happened so hopefully it's a one-off :blush:
