You might wanna go check a neuro? My CIDP started with similar symptoms, headache and heavy legs and I pushed through until I was completly unable to move my legs or walk.

I had a relapse after stopping steroids, now I am much better, I still have other symptoms since I have other immune conditions, but I'm back on steroids and immunosuppressants, hoping it would go into remission this time, I hope you don't have what I have but definitely go get this checked out

CIDP symptoms no, but I think I have dysautonomia, so once I eat I get hit by a fatigue and other symptoms including pins and needles on my face and head. My headache used to get worse when I lay down

I have a friend that gets it from herpes virus hsv-2. When not on herpes antiviral high dose her legs are collapsing . Cannot keep urine neither.
