pseudobulbar

Hello I am worried as I have been twitching body-wide for 3 years, but now recently, I don't know if its is a placebo but I am conscious about my emotions and lately iv'e been having a sense of crying but have not actually cried. Could this be an early indicator of the pseudo-bulblar affect...

It was sometime last spring when my Mom's voice started sounding hoarse. She discounted it as being sick since she typically loses her voice once a year for a couple weeks when she gets a cold. In June, my best friend got married and she couldn't stop crying. She said she was just tired ,but...

I'd like to preface this by saying I am a self-proclaimed lurker on this site who also just endured what to me, in my limited little world, would consider to be the worst three weeks of my life. Out of respect for those who have a confirmed dx of this terrible disease, I never did dare to start...

Is anyone taking Nuedexta for slurred speech, swallowing, or excess saliva problems? I'm interested to hear your experience and whether or not it is relieving any of these problems. My neurologist prescribed it at my suggestion and I took my first dose yesterday. I'm just wondering if I can...

My husband has been going to the neurologist for now almost a year, taking all kinds of tests and he believes it could be ALS. We have now gone to UofMI and hopefully they will find out what is happening. He thinks after the first visit it may be Progressive Bulbar Palsy or Primary Lateral...

Hi all, Mark here. Diagnosed on June 2, and got a second opinion from a neuromuscular specialist at University Medical Center (U of A) on the 10th. I'm 58 today, retired Air Force after 20 years of service and lucky me, spent nearly a year in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War (and have...

My husband was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia on 6/28 after I began noticing first a change in the tone of his voice and the slurred speech and it seemed difficulty finding the words. We saw a local neurologist and received this diagnosis then to UPMC Pittsburgh where he was...
