Default EMG Tounge Only

For over a year I have only had a positive EMG in the tounge. Perfectly normal in all other areas. Only real problem is speech which is slurred and seems to be getting worse. Has anyone lasted over a year with jusy bulbar onset symptoms and normal EMG's in other areas?

Barden, maybe you will be one of the few who never progress beyond the bulbar area.

(PS., welcome to the forum)

Hey Barden,

Welcome to the site. You might want to search the site for the answer you are searching for.

A full year and it has not progressed ? There are many here that wish to be so lucky. I hope your luck stays with you.

Glen
