      Hi Doug, thank you for sharing. The weakening of the legs is a symptom of the Ofev regimen that I have not heard to much of. Please ask your physician or call the customer service department at Ofev and ask to speak with a nurse or pharmacist and maybe they can help you or elaborate more on what other symptoms you may expect. Take care, Mark.
