Any family history? Muscle loss could be a sign of hereditary neuropathy - Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT). Statins can really ramp it up, as I found out.
If it shows up on an EMG NCS, you have weakness progressing, and absent reflexes, those are all markers. Do you have high arches? Hammertoes? Clumsiness or lack of coordination in childhood or youth?
