Manyquestions - My tongue twitches, quivers, and moves like crazy on its own when it's resting in my mouth. It's completely normal and doesn't mean you have ALS.

Hi Monster, I have been hyperreflexic for years. My doctor found my brisk reflexes quite a while ago during a regular health checkup. I kicked like a mule when he tapped my knees. He said it was "concerning" but left it at that. I never thought anything about it, just figured my reflexes were...

Hi MLP, I don't have ALS, but I did visit an ALS clinic after being sent there for symptoms and have learned a bit about it. I can tell you that after 5 years of symptoms, you probably do not have ALS. By now you would be quite disabled if you did have a motor neuron disease. Body twitches...

I don't see any differences between the left and right, except at the tip but that is normal. When I look at your top front teeth, I see a chip or piece on the tooth on the left that is missing. Your tongue probably sits in that groove which has caused the minor misshape at the tip.
