Not feasible to guess your diagnosis based on your post, but if progressive loss of strength and muscle bulk, would consider hyperthyroidism, inflammatory myositis, or even a motor neuron disease as some of the considerations. Urge a second opinion from a neurologist who focuses in neuromuscular disorders.
