Extreme dysphagia, diagnosed with "unspecified autoimmune", would like some input
I have done the math, and I'm a statistician - getting diagnosed with ALS is extremely rare. For someone like me, younger than 30 (I am 29), it's even more rare. On top of that, "bulbar onset ALS" is an additional...

I’ll try to make this pithy, but it’s a long story, if...
For about a year prior to being diagnosed i reported internal tremors while laying down. It totally confused the neurologist. Later on they found fasciculations in my upper back during emg.
