Yeah. I've got it. The person I was talking to when I made this discovery happens to as well. Made me wonder how common it is.
Do you experience any of the effects related to it?
Yeah.
Actually, I'm not sure what's related and what's not because there are a number of contributing factors to most of what could be related. However, I must walk strangely because when I leave foot prints in the snow it looks like I'm stepping down with heals first or something, and if my massage therapist touches certain spots on my feet I'll practically jump off the table (and she tells me I usually have a very high tolerance for pain).
Don't you just love simple solutions?
(I'm still beyond thrilled that I won't be able to eat gluten anymore pretty soon.Sometimes I think "shit, I probably won't be able to eat that ever again", but overall it's a small price to pay.)
Let me know when you do. I can give you some good resources for checking ingredient lists and whatnot.
This is really offensive to anyone with celiacs. It is in no way, shape or form "easy".Don't you just love simple solutions?

Well, she will soon learn how "thrilling" it is to be GF. It isn't whatsoever.
i don't appear to have this condition, but the description is kind of vague at certain places. more pictures showing what they mean would have been very helpful in following it.
I don't seem to have this. Actually, I didn't really understand the directions of the self-evaluation, lol. But generally, my feet are in pretty good shape anyway.
BTW, a good curative for flat feet or fallen arches is balancing on one foot. There's a few yoga poses like this that they recommend.
"How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."
-- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
To check for it you push on the ball of your feet (the part between your toes and arch on the bottom of you feet) and push down your first two toes and see whether the first or second metatarsal bone is longer by looking for the joint. I couldn't see my second one because my second toes apparently don't like to bend, but I could feel where they're at.
These are the the metatarsal bones.
holy crap that's a big image
that was the picture i needed.
i don't have this condition.
It looks a bit like what Salawa got me to do earlier, so I think I might.
No, my skeleton isn't messed up.
