*edit*
So the weight loss is likely due to the fact that I have autonomic neuropathy and more. Lucky me.
This place has been more than helpful to me and I thank everyone. The best of luck to all of you.  |
After my third trip to a different Neuro and 60 lb loss of muscle mass from Quads and Gluts and the muscles that lifts your legs, The Dr. said I had Amyotrophy. I had started falling and went to a walker. My balance was bad and ED came on also. I was told that Amyotrophy has a critical phase and fast onset was standard. The good news is that after about six months the worst was past. I have put away the walker and leg strength is better but still weak. The ED is unchanged but I had rather walk than-you know. Balance is better but I still lean on the shower wall if my eyes are closed. I would search for Amyotrophy because the muscle wasting is a common symptom and the wasting is a scary process. I hope you can get encouragement and whatever you need to get yourself to the next day. I have remembered folks that have to make it hour by hour. Good Luck, Ken in Texas. P.S. Bi-lateral periferal motor neuropathy also.
