HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is multiple sclerosis then this is episode that comes and go with neurological symptoms, some newer drugs are there with promising results but for that you need to see the neurophysician, meanwhile physiotherapy can be tried, for clinical out come steroid is the only option, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
