For The Past Month Or So I Have Been Experiencing

For the past month or so I have been experiencing muscle atrophy and pain, loss of flexibility, rapid weight loss (this has subsided and I am holding a steady weight after losing 24lb in 4 weeks), skin numbness, fatigue. My skin is numb in all regions except my forearms, face, shins and feet. I can feel a pinch on a deeper dermal level, can immediately feel hot or cold sensations topically, but can't register a light touch or brushing of skin. I can sense an itch, but scratching at it doesn't relieve it. Also, the tops, toes, and balls of my feet are suddenly extremely sensitive. I often have to sleep with my feet exposed because even the sheets lying on them feel too heavy and cause pain. This is the best way I can generically explain my most troublesome symptoms and I have tried my best in this forum. I hope to hear from anyone soon. Thank you.
