They sent her to a neurologist who did a test on her to see if she had MS, but she did not so they never figured out what it was. She called her doctor and said if it did not subside to get in there.  She did end up seeing (Doctor name withheld) on 08Oct2021.  They were looking for Guillain-Barre. She found it very interesting.
