Let me first start off by saying I pray for all those out there dealing with ALS and othe MND. I understand that you all are not here to give me a diagnoses just opinions/support. Also I am very familiar with ALS my father has it, and I also understand that only 10% of the cases are familial. Now to get to my point for the last 4 months I have been having some very ackward symptoms. It all began with twitching in thigh it then moved down to my foot. I have no clinical weakness in these areas. Then about 2 months ago I began having fasciculations in my tongue that I could not feel but see while the tongue was at rest. I also developed a twitching in my lips and cheeks and area above my lip. Withing the last week or so I developed this feeling of having something deep down in my throat and I am constantly clearing it but nothing ever comes up and the feeling doesn't diminish. Also my face lips cheeks and nose feel as though they are twitching, and I can feel it when i put my fingers on it and I have noticed new dips and grooves in tongue. I am somewhat frightened about the possibility of having bulbar I am waiting to get an app with a nuero. But my biggest concern is the facial and lip twitching with the cough. The twitching isn't constant but very frequent.
Anyway I thank you all in advance for any feedback, and hope my inquiries don't aggravate or find you at a bad time. God bless
