As far as being self-conscious about your slenderness I thought a person could never be too rich or too skinny, haha. Maybe that is a California thing. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Ken. Yes you certainly can be too skinny when your upper body is still the same normal size! Haha. You are right about the fact many consultants will hang everything on the first thing that might fit the bill.

Glenn, interesting the way you describe the atrophy as this is exactly how mine went. It started first with lack of tone to the skin of my legs and then seeming less tightly held together if that makes sense. This was before the sfn pain, the sfn pain came and then later came the obvious muscle atrophy. I've printed off the lizajane spreadsheets, I will never get all of these ordered via my neurologist. I am going to see how much it costs to have some of these done privately.

Thanks for the helpful replies.
