Hey,
I am a 1 year BFS sufferer. My symptoms have been widespread fasciculations and aches in many places such as calves, wrists, neck, ... Sometimes just walking is painful. I have a lot of exercise intolerance. I have no weakness, had an EMG 3 months after beginning, clean. CPK is @ 200 without making any exercise. Doc said nothing to worry about
So until last month I was not so worried because I knew I had BFS. But for one month now the pain is in my neck, in the back and also in the front. I feel a discomfort when I swallow in my neck.
And for 3 weeks now I have always some food stuck in my throat. Each time I eat the small crumbs get stuck in my throat. Drinking water does not help in any way. Just sometimes when I wake up the food is not there anymore. And the pain increases in the muscles of my neck. By the way I can swallow anything and have no problem for chewing or for using my tongue.
Few questions:
1) Does this look like MND?
2) In MND is it possible to have pain in neck when swallowing?
3) Does swallowing issues in MND look like what I'm experiencing?
Thank you so much for your time
