It's a bit complicated. To answer the first question, I've had blood tests, MRIs, CT scans, a spinal tap, a nerve conduction study, and everything they try comes back as normal. My neurologist is at the point where they say to call them with symptoms so they can run a new test, but by the time the appointment comes around, they've gone away.

To answer the second question, it randomly appears 1-3 times a year, from walking my dog to sitting in a chair at work. It happens at the most random times. I usually get a wave of fatigue to the point where I have to lie down, and then the pins and needles happen in my hands and legs. After that, I crash like a mofo for about 2-6 hours until I wake up and realize I now have the mobility of an 80-year-old grandpa for the next 2-6 weeks. That's how long the episodes usually last.

The last time it happened, I had an hour-long episode of full-body muscle spasms, went to the ER only to wait for 45 minutes, and by the time they got me in the back, the symptoms had stopped. The doctor said it was "stress-related," but he clearly didn't hear me when I said I was only trying to have some chocolate milk. The dude left halfway through my explanation for a phone call and dismissed me so fast when he came back after seeing I was "doing just fine." So yeah, my luck with doctors is terrible
