Was hoping someone could give me some insight on these symptoms and if they could be bulbar onset ALS:
1. MAJOR trouble swallowing my own saliva but do fine with food and drink
2. Tongue feels tired but I can move it any which way
3. No muscle weakness or fasiculations currently
4. Voice is hoarse, speech isn't impaired as of now in either slurring or volume
5. Mouth always feels dry no matter how much I drink
6. No muscle weakness or fasiculations at this time although I had them both a month ago
I've had a EMG and a nerve conduction test done last month but it was for my limbs as I didn't have these symptoms then. Also went to the Mayo in Rochester and saw a neuro who gave me a physical exam including my mouth but didn't do an EMG on my tongue again because I didn't have these symptoms when I was there. Any help/insight/wisdom would be very much appreciated.
