Is that "jelly legs" feeling a symptom of myasthenia gravis?
Yes, wobbly or weak legs can absolutely be part of MG. Muscle weakness is a hallmark of the condition, and it can affect the arms, legs, and neck — sometimes coming on quickly and feeling very unpredictable. One MGteam member described it well: "I was most surprised at how quickly my arms and legs would weaken at certain times." Others have shared similar experiences, including trouble walking and general weakness in the limbs.
A key pattern with MG is that weakness often gets worse with activity and tends to improve with rest. So if your legs feel worse after being on them for a while, that tracks with how MG typically behaves.
A few things worth doing:
- Keep a symptom log — note when the weakness happens, how long it lasts, and what you were doing beforehand
- Share this with your neurologist — especially if it's getting worse or spreading
- Rest when needed — pushing through can sometimes make symptoms worse
