Mystery Illness

Hi there! I've been seeing a doctor on and off for a couple months now, and am not longer allowed to go to work in my condition (god bless its a union, I dont think they can fire me or anything but they do view me as a liability until I get my physical health sorted) but progress is... so so slow in the Canadian medical system sometimes. Not that I blame my doctor, of course, I know hes a busy, busy man with many many patients. im just looking for... advice or maybe even just words of encouragement, I dont know. it all started in December, when I thought I just came down with a cold or something. My legs were incredibly weak, so I took a few days off. I didnt improve for a week, and struggled to walk greatly, with nearly zero ability to drive my knees forward and a constant fatigue after a couple hours of work. Finally, I felt better. then came February, and things took a turn for the worst. Im exhausted just sitting here typing this, my legs feel like they've walked miles and miles non stop. My knee has locked up in the past, they consistently burn and tingle, and my overall weakness has gone way up. I laid on the floor one day (cat was on the couch and I didnt feel like moving the little guy) and my whole body gave up and I could barely move. I dont know what normal feels like anymore, so I cant even say for certain if Im experiencing any other true symptoms. what do you think?
