Geez I'm slow

Okay so my cognition has been going down hill fast in the last couple months, but I just had a revelation that kinda made me chuckle.
I am (was sorta, Oh I don't know) a waitress B4 the MonSter...I guess that is irrelevant as I still work in the restaraunt as a hostess....ok back to the point.  So I have noticed since I started working there a year ago I have had this issue where When I try to get out of someone's way I feel frozen to the floor for a second.  I used to laugh it off and say "Geez I have a problem with changing direction".  So I have been dx'd for 6 weeks not and not until just about 5 min ago did it don on me... Does this Possibly Maybe have something to do with my MS?  

I also have vivid recollections of my softball days back in my Jr and Sr year of high school where when I hit the ball and when I went to take off to first I got that same "Frozen" feeling on 4 or 5 occasions.  Twice my legs even gave out.  No one seemed to think anything except that I was paying attention to the ball and not running.  I never told anyone what went on. So if the above is MS related, Is it possible that the episodes in my teen years were symptoms from small brain lesions back then?

I have the same problem - there's a slight delay before my legs start moving.  My hand reflexes are still pretty good, but my legs, not so much!  sometimes a leg will 'stutter' before it gets going.

I can;t answer this question but I do know there can be a delay in between what the brain is signaling and the reaction time in regards to muscles that is.  So I don't know but possibly?

Sooner or later I am sure someone will be along who can provide more info than me.
