A member asked:
I'm losing arms and fingers thickness. tests were ok. doctors say i need to rest and no stress. no solution?

Not rest or stress: The question should be rephrased to better explain your symptoms. Having said that, "losing arms and fingers thickness" likely means atrophy or loss of strength which are unlikely to be primarily related to stress level or sufficient rest. Discuss your concerns with your doctor again or seek second consultation with a different doctor or a neurologist.
