Jim, I could walk all along...but by holding my legs or joints stiff and swinging from the hip and I didn't get far. After steroids I was very weak, and couldn't tolerate any weight or get far for about 4 months. then I had a complete recovery over about a year except for occassional fatigue and spasming. In 2000, I lost it for 11 months and recovered over another year. I had progressive weakness starting about 2008 until August 2010 when I couldn't do anything let alone sit for more than an hour. I'm now getting around with orthotics and a brace for walking. But, I have a lot of muscle weakness and easily get pain aside from "pins and needles, and burning" with any exertion. Also, my hands and arms are now involved. But, I still get around pretty good if I can pace myself. Pam
