Hi! Please be kind to me, I'm scared and I'm trying to receive help from our local hospital but they won't do much. So lately I've been having some difficulties with pronouncing some consonants, for example three days in a row I've hade problems with saying words with L and R. I was saying the word "alarm" really fast without thinking about it and it either comes out as "ararm" or "alalm" and I have no idea why. I also have minor jaw tremors, my lower teeth bumps together with my upper teeth row. I also keep biting my lip when I'm not thinking about it. My mouth also feels kind off weak, and I've found saliva in the corners of it for around two weeks now. I should include that I'm a 17 year old girl and right now I have a grandfather who's struggling with bulbar ALS right now (1 1/2 years since his diagnosis) and his ALS started with consonant difficulties. I know that the odds of having ALS at this age are almost non-existent. But the fear is sadly there at the moment. I also have problems with stress and anxiety due to working two jobs and studying a lot at the same time. Last week I had problems with muscle twitching, feeling weak, and some pain in my muscles, but they were caused by a viral infection. The hospital is known for its laziness and their lack of caring about their patients.
I don't think that my speaking problem is caused by a viral infection as they told me a few days ago. So could this be onset bulbar, anxiety/stress or just a viral infection?
Thank you and sorry. I do not mean to offend anyone. Also this is not my native language so be gentle
