My question is for people with ALS what are the first symptoms when food starts getting stuck in your throat and coughing when you eat. this has been happening to me frequently for the past couple of months. I do not have any twitching in my tongue only in my left arm and hand and an abnormal EMG which I am having follow up on with a specialist but not until August. Sometimes I feel like I forgot how to eat and swallow when I start coughing on food like tonight when I was out with a friend. Is it something I should be concerned about. Second question, It has been made clear on posts when a EMG is not ALS but when it is, what does it look like? I picked up my EMG report and it shows alot of fibs mostly 2+ some 1+, Inserts 2+ and 1+, PSW's 2+ and 1+, weakness in hand with very active twitching in arm and hand. Motor and sensory NCV normal in same arm. Thanks for your input.
