I just felt good then I go back in the archives and find a post on somenoe who saw a neuro and they said typical place to look for atrophy is a place that usually pokes out when u flex your toes forward- well on my right ankle...I have noticed some indentions and dimple...what is considered the part of the ankle they are talking about-I just came out of my room from crying and shaking. I cant take much more of this...wouldn't their be weakness. I dont even twitch in this spot.I am 7 months pregnant and I am sooo miserable I feel I cant live anymore w/ this cycle..and I being honest..Sooo scared.Lovely
 
You will be just fine!!! I have dents all over my feet and ankles. I have thin feet so I can see every tendon, etc. I believe that alot of people do. My two feet are not the same either. Our problem is that we get super intuned and start to notice everything. Then we don't know if they had been like that forever or just started. You really are OK.
 
HiCalm down, there would be more then weaknes, believe me! you are fine. my advice is do not self examin. As the saying goes, if you look hard enough you will Find something. I remember in 2005 people posting about dents, changes and so on,Yes! I was one of them and i am still here, as you will be in many years to come. This is all part of the condition BFS. It will try to take over your mind, don't let it, fight it!!.take careChris
 
Hi Lovely!Like Sueboy my feet are both different! On one foot the tendons etc are more noticeable than the other! Darlin, you are so fine and as Chris said it WILL take over your mind if you let it!Take careSandra
 
Lovely, Look everyone has asymmetrical muscle configurations. I think you are obsessing too much. You are pregnant, and your hormones are playing havoc, it is making you obsess.Stop checking yourself. THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE, IF IT WAS TRUE ATROPHY, THAT MEANS YOUR MUSCLE WAS DYING AND WASTING IF IT WAS ALS, HENCE YOU WOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT WEAKNESS, YOU DON'T HAVE WEAKNESS IT CANNOT BE TRUE ATROPHY FROM ALS, IT IS JUST YOUR NORMAL BODY CONFIGURATION.Please stop trying to waste this wonderful, happy time awaiting your baby on this crazy, BFS/ALS obsessions. You are fine, honestly.Terri
 
Oh, honey... I have not been on here that much lately but I just read some recent posts. You have got to stay rational here and think about the fact that if you had **s you WOULD have weakness. Do you think you would have even noticed something like that if you had not been on here so much reading everyone else's problems all the time?? Probably not! I don't think most people on here realize how powerful our mind truly is and what it can and cannot do. Even if there really is a few dents on your calf, it is obviously not **s b/c you would have weakness!! EVERYONE, and I mean everyone who has **s has some sort of true weakness that progresses fast. You have got to calm down, stay rational and get off this internet!
 
Thanks all- you are ALL to kind. Hubby is standing over my shoulder right now and he is taking the computer..(I feel like a teenager) but that is just how I am acting. Its ridiculous. ALLLLLL OF YOU ARE CORRECT and my BRAIN is being CONSUMED and ate up w/ worry b/c I am focusing on EVERYTHING but LIFE right now. I am being VERY selfish to my child. She deserves to live in a relaxed womb...stress free til her birth.Soooooo, I dont know how long he'll take the computer- he said maybe til she is born...BUT its for the birth- he's locked me out a few times (off the net) but when he thought I was better he let me back on...obviously this takes awhile to get over and its very sensitive to even read about.THANKS EVERYONE- I am gonna BEAT THIS little OBSESSSION!!!Lovely
