Several times while kneeling at the bathtube to wash my hair under the faucet my legs would collapse and I'd end up sitting on the floor with hair dripping wet and me bewildered. By putting my arms on the tube I would push myself up until I knew I could stand straight, wrap my hair in a towel, dry it and go to school {Nursing School}. When I mentioned it to my neuro he said it's a cardinal sign of MS. It happened to me about 4 times when I wash my hair like that and soon after I was in a wheelchair and still am. You are very lucky to have RRMS. Mine is CP. I’ve had this problem when I was Dx’d with MS in 1996.
