Monrein thanks for the info. It feels more like a weakening feeling and cramping feeling.When I try to stand and walk I literally become wobbly and it feels like Im losing control of my motor skills. When I start moving and walking in a caouple of minutes its gone. I go to the sauma do you think that might be the cause?? oh and no burning feeling and not diabetic. I saw that potassium levels might have some similar affects. What do you think?

Not sure at all.  I'm glad you're seeing the doc tomorrow.   Does your potassium generally run high?   I think muscle weakness can be a symptom of high potassium but if it is that then I guess you'll have to monitor the diet bit more carefully cuz it's a serious issue and risk (as you already know, I'm sure).
Let us know what the doc says OK?
