Worried

[Seth]

Five months ago I was woken with a throbbing tongue it hasn't stopped since , it could also be described as twitching .I queried it on line and wished I never bothered . It was a year before this diagnosed with copd and stopped smoking immediately and my lung function after a year accually improved by one hundred .
So I find myself not knowing what can be the problem I am short of breath when really I should be feeling better but since I stopped smoking the oxygen in my blood most of the time is reading less each week and I, m down to 83 on my little finger machine. I'm constantly trying to clear my throat and can,t talk for long before I'm out of breath.
I frequently get cramps in my lower legs and just about anywhere else I have a muscle , I even get cramp in my neck if I yawn .ì'm 55 yr old and transgender with two more operations left . I don't want to be buried a freak . Please help !

Sympathize but can't help you, Seth. The good news is that there's no reason whatsoever to think you might have ALS. Good luck chasing this down with your doctors.
