Symptom narrative

About 24 hrs later experienced serious loss of strength and mobility of lower limbs. Needed walker to get from bed to bathroom. Symptoms lessened each day but it took four days for mobility to visit doctor. He noted strength and mobility returning and suggested rest and mild exercise. Within a month I was perhaps 70-percent recovered; within several months, 90-percent. Two mild recurrences: one during UTI infection and antibiotics; the other weakness in left knee treated with rest. I understand that recurrences might continue. Thus I mark "Unknown" below
