I have been worried about ALS for sometime.. and I am a person with extreme anxiety.. when an idea of a disease enters my head it will be hard to take it out... the only difference with my ALS worries is that I am having the symptoms.. real symptoms.. I wrote a post here two months ago about hand muscle atrophy and I did EMG and it turned out fine.. The problem now suddenly within one week I am really having problems with swallowing food.. cant finish a burger.. liquids seems ok but sometimes hard when I start drinking. tongue is twitching 24/7.. speech is hard but no one noticed.. but I know it is hard because I start eating letters. Regarding the food eating difficulties I had a similar issue about a year ago and it just went away by itself... this time it is stronger not like before.
Can ALS bulbar onset starts this strong? my tongue is really twitching and yes it is visible twitches I can see it anytime of the day... it also has a sting feeling all over sometimes.
Can someone suggests a good ALS doctor to consult? I am tired of bad doctors in my country.. I will be going to the US soon (DC and NYC) if someone knows a name of a doctor or a medical center where they just know about ALS I will be glad.
thanks in advance.
