I haven't the slightes interest to keep writing my symptoms, but I've been asked what I do here and even called a liar which I sucked in as I'm desparate of your help. Imagine how that feel to be disrespected to that level and still feel dependant of the people who treat you that way. I'm an...

Thank you Tillie for giving hope with your message. My neuro contacted me today with some distressing news. My MRI of neck and head were perfect. She went over my symptoms and said that my dysphagia together with tongue fasciculations can not be overlooked and she said she's inclined to another...

As I've now had my EMG I can also say that I was not going to post, I had my questions there to answer for anyone who would've wanted to do that. I had my EMG last Friday and I'm generally content, I found the doctor very approachable and everything went smoothly. However I was wondering why...

I am having my EMG this friday, I've been booked double time for some reason. I had my MRI last Friday however it was only for the neck and head, stating "simple" as a spesification. I was hoping to get the results from the MRI (maybe with some explanation what is wrong with me) before the EMG...

I'm having EMG, MRI and lumbar during next two weeks.

I have now seen a neurologist and GP whom both took all the possible blood tests (thyroid, parathyroid, calcium, lyme, you name it) and nothing was found. Neuro spent almost an hour with me and was seemingly upset by the treatment I've had so far. She said I should've been sent to at least MRI...

As an update, I've been directed for head MRI and swallowing tests in January. I found a couple of member posts here that discribe similar symptoms of swallowing difficulty, "blind spot" in throat for solids, if the piece of food goes to that spot it just floates without control even though...

Neuro told me over the phone that these are still typical symptoms for tension neck. I really wan't to trust him on this and didn't question his evaluation. However, I've not found a single incident in the internet where tension neck has been the cause of tongue fasciculations and dysphagia...

Thank you Karen for your reply. I have sent an update to my neuro though and waiting for a response. Let's see if he suggests a visit to ENT. I'm not going to lie, before I was slightly concerned but thought it's probably something or nothing. Now I don't really see what other options there...

I'm back with some concerns and not sure if I should bother my doctor again. I've had not had any further problems with any of the extremities anymore, however the swallowing problem persits and feels a bit worse. As I previously described, the food "sits" nicely aftef swallowing somewhere in my...

Hi Nikki, yes it helps a lot, thank you. That would have been actually one question I forgot from the original post, is it possible to wear out the muscles in als so that they became that... alien? it had all sensory feelings but just complately out of energy, I've been avoiding gym after...

Hi and thank you for the reply! I have read the post and it was very useful indeed. I am not quite sure what you mean by "reassurance" and "not convinced". I had nothing in mind when going to the doctor the first time and thus needed no reassurance. I was very happy with my visit and think...

About 1,5 months ago I experienced, during a course of week or two, severe cramping of my toes, feet and calves when exercising. At the same time there was some awkwardness in my fingers and facial fasciculations. My ankle and calf (left, also hand probs on left) were stiff and especially going...
