Whole body muscle weakness/atrophy on right side

Nobody visits this thread anymore. I fear it may be because they found out the condition and are sour (rightfully so) enough where they don't want to come back. I for instance have been having this problem as well. It started on my lower left leg and went all the way up to the top of my head. This includes my bones/muscles/and who knows what else. It seems as though everything is affected by this. My gums and hair are less on my left side compared to my right. I've been Diabetic for a long time (over 30 years). This started happening around 2 years ago. I noticed that when I drank liquor and smoked weed a few months ago when this was only on my left side; I woke up the very next day and my whole right side shrunk OVER-NIGHT. Like W-T-F. My right side has shrunk but is still more solid than my left. This st is so crazy because before I started having this issue I had no real health problems regardless of my poor habit of drinking liquor/smoking weed for the past 10 years. I stopped for about 7 months mid-ish 2020 but went back and did it again for September - December of 2020. I stopped again and it's been 25-ish days. My doctor says my spine is curved to the left slightly. I can see my back's oddities in the mirror (even though I don't trust him); so, I can agree with him on that. I also take thyroid medication in addition to insulin. I used to be strong, Mr. America strong etc. Now I'm getting weak and pathetic. When this first started happening around 2018; I remember my blood sugar getting low at work and I'd collapse on my left leg (weak side that was the first to start weakening) while dangerously low. I believe it started then, and the shrinking followed later on. It's so strange how it's like someone cut me in half vertically and each side is affected at different times. I did have my left leg having tremors (lower part) while I went to bed in the summer of 2019. I thought this was due to alcohol and I think alcohol triggered it. Once I stopped drinking the tremors stopped. The tremors were present in the summer of '19 for about two-three months. I was drinking heavily then and blamed it on that. I suppose the alcohol simply pushed the symptoms to more obvious views. Either way, this st is scary as fk and I'm p****d that my doctors don't see the threat (or they pretend not to). I've been trying to get help for a long time. I lifted weights the 7 months that I stopped drinking/smoking and I became stronger and faster (I ran on the treadmill). But, it was a struggle to exercise for some reason; because, I felt off balance with my left side being so much different than my right. When I bench pressed (I could barely bench press 80 lbs. starting again [I used to be able to bench press over 250 lbs. 7 years ago]; I got up to 185 lbs. on bench press for about five reps x 5 sets) I noticed my left arm would be cocked at an angle while struggling to push the weight up while my right arm was straight forward. Possibly due to my spine being twisted to the left (if that's the case); or, simply because of my weakened state of the left side compared to right. Either way, I stopped exercising Sept. 2020 and drank/smoked weed from then to Dec. 2020 and now I quit again because I can't afford to lose anymore of my health. I noticed as well back when I was weight lifting in the summer of '2020 that after a while (about four-five weeks into it) I was still shrinking on my left side even though I was getting smaller. I'd wake up and feel my left shoulder blade in the back smaller etc. St is crazy how you go to sleep one night and wake up shrunken. Even though I'm not someone prone to depression I've given up on doing anything beside my job. I just come home and sit around looking at screens 'cause my reality is that I'm going to be dead soon from this st, or in a wheel chair, bed-ridden etc. I lost the muscle on the top of both feet. My hands are less muscular/smaller bones etc. St sucks >.< Nobody will help me!! I did get a neurology test as well. The doctor claimed my muscle and nerve test came back normal. I also got an M.R.I. of my brain and top of spinal cord that came back normal. Ya right. If I was normal I wouldn't be decaying like this. Help!

Adding more. I noticed as well that the back of my rib cage (at least It seems like this is the area) has been cracking slightly while sitting down in my computer chair if I twist to the left a little bit etc. It's so strange. I also was having pain under my rib etc. Of course I have drank/smoked weed for 11 years (recently quit for 7 as mentioned; and am quitting again now wholeheartedly), so that could be a possibility for my despair. I am Diabetes Type-1 and my blood sugars have always been in good control (A1C spectacular every time according to the doctors). I will say this though, in the past year it's been impossible to get good numbers in the morning for the most part. Been waking up at 150-200 normally. It seems my insulin is tapering off (long-lasting of course) quicker then it should. For instance, If I do my insulin and check myself 8-9 hours after I'm often a good number. If I check myself 10-11 hours after I'd be in the 150-200 range like my blood sugar is shooting up abnormally for no known reason. Possibly in connection to what is happening to me. Long lasting insulin should be working for 10-12 hours according to the Diabetic physicians. Even so, I shouldn't be shooting up that fast if it isn't working. I've also been looking at people more often in their physique etc. for obvious reasons. I notice almost everyone I look at on TV or in-person; their cheeks push out more and are protruding more on the left side on everyone I look at. I'm the opposite now due to my shrinkage (slow death); my right side sticks out more but it still isn't as much as it should be. I used to have a full face, puffy cheeks etc. because I have always had a chubby face compared to my body (not extremely abnormal chubby; but, chubbier than the average). The area under my eyes are sunken in more. My penis stopped getting morning erections in early March of 2019. Like...I used to wake up with raging erections no matter how many times I used to the day prior. Then all of a sudden It just stopped happening and my penis has been broken since (penis, along with all my other body parts I'm sure). I used to have a penis close to 7 inches and thicker than normal; now it's lost size and is slightly under 6 inches and I have to manually touch it to get it to increase in size; even then, it's a broken erection and not worth s**t. My testicles have shrunken as well; they used to be large enough where I'd have to spread my legs while sitting to not aggravate them, now I can cross my legs like it's nothing. I still have a sex drive; I just don't have the weapon to use it with anymore! My left buttocks/hip is significantly smaller so some of my clothing slip as someone else indicated in here. Lastly, I got my testosterone checked before I started exercising in Spring 2020. It was deemed low. Then I got it checked again after 7 months of exercising and it was deemed "normal;" but, barely normal, barely above the minimum number. I used to have excessive testosterone levels. I'm listing all of this information because any piece could be relevant and I desperately want at least an answer, and in a good world a fix.

Sorry for the triple reply. I forgot to add this, I know this has a direct relation with what is going on with me (us). My knuckles on top of my fingers are EXTRA wrinkly and nasty. Like they are sinking inward. At first my right knuckles were normal and my left were like this; once my right side became infected with this defective health condition my right knuckles turned ugly, wrinkly, sunk in and wrinkly. I know these doctors know what we're going through. It's all about money in the medical industry. Want us to suffer until we need emergency help a.k.a. spending way more money than if It were fixed or treated when it first started happening. I have no faith I will be helped!

I have to say your negativity and assuming "everyone here is dead" surely wont help you or any of us. Have you personally gotten a call from their loved ones saying they have died? like come on now.

all I know is Ive found 2 or 3 other people on Facebook experiencing this and were trying to figure it out. one thing we all have in common is long standing digestive issues. You can say you didnt have health issues before this but you literally just said you are diabetic. Im going to assume if you take a real look back you probably dont have perfect digestion either and havent for awhile. This could be some kind of neuropathy from insulin resistance I don't know. wouldn't make much sense though as its effecting bone and soft tissue not just muscle an nerve. my right ear is softer an smaller which is just cartilage.

for me I lost a massive amount of weight after extreme stress an noticed it then. as I put weight back on I noticed it more and more then its just gotten worse an worse. I'm still tryin though. dealing with my digestion taking supplements and working on better sleep better diet. you're not going to get anywhere with your everyone is dead attitude.

You sound too sensitive to be on the internet. What I said wasn't anything to get offended over. Also, I have Type-1; not Type-2, Type-1 is not insulin resistance.

Any updates? I recently lost more mass in my head/facial region and ever since I've been more constipated and have less of an urge to release fecal matter. I'm stressed 24/7 and can't get this issue out of my head because it has revved up speed in recent times. I stated previously I had nerve testings for my muscles and other such things; normal according to the doctor. I also had an M.R.I. of my brain/top of spine; normal according to doctor. I most recently had an x-ray of my spine and they claimed I had some slight curving of it and slight deterioration of it. Nothing surprising for my age though. I fear for my life and by the signs I'm getting personally I'm going to be another person who "could've been saved;" but, wasn't because people didn't care enough to take my condition urgently. I ask my primary doctor for help and he acts as if I'm in no danger even though he's known me for 20+ years and has seen me diving in health as of late. I fear I'll just have a stroke or heart attack out of nowhere because I keep "losing" matter. I also have ear ringing in my left ear every now and then with such easy triggering. I also can lay on my stomach on the bed and my ears will have that 'woosh-woosh" noise for seconds at a time.

If my nerves are truly fine; my brain is truly fine; my top of spine etc. is truly fine. I suppose the next area to look at is the heart. Possibly my heart is malfunctioned where it is not sending blood/nutrients to the left side of my body properly. I always assume a tumor/cancer is possible as well. I did have a CT scan on my bladder region two years ago at the E.R.; colonoscopy/endoscopy around five years ago and a brain/top of spine M.R.I. recently.

It's getting worse and it's going that direction at a faster rate as of it. I may need to go to the E.R. again to get real attention, even though it's costly as hell. Wouldn't matter if I'm dead from this I guess!

Also, I have lost mass/'matter' in all of the left side of me. This includes the Tragus of the ear...which is simply skin and cartilage. If this was a spine problem, why would it be affecting my face/head/ear? I'm stuck in a mental quicksand because I can't get over how badly I'm sliding downward in health. Hope you all are not getting worse; and hope for all of us that we can find a solution!
