I was diagnosed with ALS 1 1/2 years ago with legs onset. I am now just beginning to slur a few words. Mostly S's. My Neuro doesn't think this has anything to do with my ALS yet, since he did not see signs of facibulations of the tongue or any atrophy of the tongue. But my thinking is that people who had bulbar onset often are not diagnosed since it is not advanced when they first are examined. I'm interested in knowing how speech problems started for other people and did you tongue show faciculations or atrophy at first or later. Thanks for any advice. Jim
