Thumbs up Weight loss

I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy. NVC and EMG back in January were completely clean.

It seems as though I am losing muscle mass, though...or maybe I am imagining it. It can be hard to tell the difference sometimes haha. My muscles wear themselves out much faster, and I feel like I have lost tone. I don't necessarily think I am less active...but perhaps I am.

I also get a good amount of twitching and some deeper muscle pain at times...at least it feels deeper. I am seeing my neuro again in a few weeks for a follow up. Does anyone get these issues with small fiber only? I am scared that my motor nerves are now being affected.

I do of course have other problems...autoimmune Addison's disease and hypothyroidism which are both well managed (as much as they can be anyway).

My diet is as far as I know very good. I eat tons of veggies, some fruit, seafood, whey protein, some whole grains.
I, like Ragtop, lost weight along with the wasting. If you are not losing weight, don't worry yourself until your Neuro appt and then have a discussion. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
