I started about a year ago stumbling for words. I have had all the neurological testing done, but all was negative. I have some compressed disks in my neck and back. I have had tingling in the past in hands and feet, but was told it was due to the disks. I just noticed a couple of days ago that I have a scallopped tongue. I have NO swallowing problems at all. BUT, I am very concerned about the speech issues. Can ANYONE tell me if this is how they started? I am a nervous wreck, and it consumes my time and my mind! I do not know what else the speech issue could be? Eveytning I have read on line points to a neurological disorder...ALS and others. The reason I stated going to the DR was because I was having bouts of fogginess and fatigue. It would last a couple of days, maybe a week and go away. This was before any speech issues. I still get these bouts, and then they go away, and I feel fine except for the speech issue. I have been recently diagnosed (2 weeks ago) with dry eye syndrome, and been given restasis for that issue. SO, what the hell is going on here? I would appreciate ANY advise or comments. Thanks!
By the way, I have an appointment with a new Neuro in a few weeks at a local Dallas ALS place. I am very scared at this point!
