Hi guys,
Thanks for your responses. I'm taking your advice and waiting to have the modified barium swallow performed on the 4/26.
One of the thoughts I had that convinced me to go this route (besides you both being right that this test produces a lot of valuable info) is that it would...
Hi Affected,
Thanks for responding. You're right, my posts are rather long. It's always been the way my mind works with long rambling trains of thought.
I have friends and family but I've been keeping all of this from them. I guess I just need to let this out somewhere. Maybe it's selfish that...
Okay, cool I'm not sure why but previously I was having difficulties getting my messages to post (which was quite frustrating when I put considerable time in to one of them).
Sooo... I was able to secure an appointment for the modified barium swallow study on 4/26, which is disappointing to say...
Ehh, looks like a typical pharma company that likes to talk up it's product line. Appears as if they've been shotgunning this compound at a whole bunch of diseases and have so far been rejected by regulatory agencies repeatedly... but hey, ya never know...

Thanks for your response Mike. It means a lot to me.
I haven't received the modified barium swallow yet. They are suppose to call me today to confirm the appointment time. Apparently this is not a common test and I've been getting a bit of a run around with setting it up. I did previously have...
Thank you taking the time to reply.
I have been to both an ENT and a gastro.
I haven't had sinus issues for while (so haven't seen the ENT lately) but I'll be going him on Thursday to ask for a neck CT. My throat has been evaluated multiple times and they found nothing.
And I am actively...
And this is the logic I've been trying to use to keep myself calm and wait for answers:
Odds of getting ALS: 1/50,000
Percentage of ALS diagnosed under 38: .03%
Percentage of ALS that is Bulbar: 25%
50,000/.03/.25= 6,666,666.75
So the odds of someone my age being diagnoses with bulbar ALS is...
Sorry, I forgot to mention my specifics:
I'm about to turn 37 years old. I use to do amphetamines, smoke etc but have quite all of those bad things since 2012. I've been diagnosed with a mild hiatal hernai and minor reflux. And I've had left leg sciatica for years. I think that about covers it...
I'm sure you get this types of health anxious questions a million times a week, so I apologize in advance. However my symptoms are more concerning than basic muscle twitches.
It started maybe 6 month ago with me clearing my throat, especially during eating. I also began to experience throat...
