Hello @johnwalt71, I don't think you are alone with muscular atrophy. While you wait for members to respond, I thought you may want to scan through comments from others who have mentioned muscular atrophy in other discussions - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/?search=muscular%20atrophy.
I though you might find some information on diagnosis and treatment suggestions in this article on your unexplained weight loss.

You mentioned your doctors have nothing to say. Have you thought about seeking help at a teaching hospital or major health facility like Mayo Clinic?
