I don't know how many of you remember me, I used to be "here" all the time last yr. Anyhow, let me give you an update. I am still twitching (this month will be a yr), have had a clean emg 3 wks into twitiching. Last time I saw a neuro was in august when I noticed a dent in my left things (atrophy?), he didn't want to do another emg, told me it wasn't atrophy...
Well here I am all freaked out once again. Right now I am 7 mos pregnant and my dent is still there. I HAVE NO WEAKNESS and the dent has been there since the end of july. I think it's getting bigger, but my husband doesn't... My twitching is basically in that leg (in front of the thigh, the dent is on the side), even though I have had it all over from time to time; it seems that it's only there now. I am sooooo freaked, maybe my pregnancy hormones are not helping the situation.
I know it's bad when I'm measuring my thighs once again!! I remember measuring them in august and they were 17" ea, now they're at 19" ea (yes, I've gained weight in pregnancy). This might sound irrational, but please bare w/ me: is it possible to have atrophy but at the same time the thigh affected get bigger? Or does muscle waisting have no effect if I am maybe just gaining fat in the area?
My husband thinks I'm totally irrational. He won't even look at the area any more even though I feel better when he does......... Could I have atrophy for 6 mos w/out weakness? I still go on the treadmill for a 1/2 an hr a day and don't seem to have problems. I do get the muscle aching (I have had that all along) in both legs, but mostly in the affected left thigh.
I will appreciate any input!!
ThanX,
Sandra
