Ive had twitching on and off since mid-March. Stiffness and fatigue in both legs and left arm. Now I've noticed that my uvula is crooked towards the right, like a "C" and the right side of my tongue in the back towards the throat is much, MUCH lower than the left. When I yawn, it's ALWAYS incomplete yawn and ends up being more of a sigh. When I swallow, sometimes things go up into my left nostril and makes me sneeze. My twitching started in the middle of the night and it was wide spread from the start, but now mostly resides in my calves. Lots of shaking, lots of vibrating. I have pre-charlie horses which come and go; so do the muscle fatigue. I have had two clean EMGS, but not thorough.
My questions are, can you have limbs onset & bulbar issues at the same time in such a short period of time.
Does this sound at ALL like ALS?
And will an EMG pick up issues with ALS, even if the bulbar regions weren't tested?
And yes, i read all the stickies. Some more than twice. I just didn't get the answers I was looking for. Any feed back is appreciated.
