swallow

I will try to skip as much ramble as possible and just get into the details. I’m a 22 year old female. About a year ago I started noticing twitches, kind of all over my body. I didn’t think much of it apart from think it was really weird. Then one day I decided to ask google and ALS came up...

My Dad slipped away peacefully on Wednesday, Jan. 30. ALS took his ability to move, to swallow, to speak, and finally to breathe, but it didn't take his joy or his strong faith. Diagnosis was the end of December 2017, though he'd had symptoms for at least two years prior. Possibly...

Hello, I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now and I've held back from posting my symptoms but it seems to be progressing so I'm more anxious. I'm 28 year old male and I'm extremely worried that I might have early symptoms of Bulbar or Limb onset ALS. It all started about 7 months ago...

Hey everyone. I've never posted on a forum before such as this one, although I've long been someone that often browses to see what others are going through and that people have to say. But I'm genuinely at my wits end and don't know how to cope any longer, so perhaps just discussing my issue a...

my speech quality falls rapidly. i tried to find exact reason for that: touch my nose with tongue (i can), it (tongue) has lateral fibrilations, but not atrophy, eat better than before (gained 3 kg), swallow ok, whistling ok, no more caugh... finally, they checked my mouth with emg, it is ok. my...

I've known in my heart that this was als. 1 year ago she and I were snowmobiling. Symptoms first started around June. She needs help getting into my truck now, has slurred speech. And can not swallow a pill, but she can't open the pill bottle anyhow. We are referred to mass general. I...

Hello, all, hope you can help with yet another issue: combed the threads, and don't see anything on this. My 87-year old mother, limb onset, is having a lot of bulbar symptoms now. They've really worsened over the last few weeks. She makes these tiny "mphhh, mphh, mphhh" noises after she...

Hello! First of all, I am really grateful for all the help of you, PALS and CALS, provide to us that are still lost in our medical conditions, and I respect you immensely for that. In August, my first symptomes occured. After a spasm that woke me up, my middle finger on my right foot started...

Hello , first of all i wish everyone immediate health. My name is Özgür and im from Turkey. I came here to get some answers and to be honest im a little bit concerned. İ dont want to annoy anyone but this country doesn't have so much knowledge about this disease (apparently me neither but still...

Hi all, I'm a 33 yo female and have been fearing ALS for about 10 months now, since I started twitching all over my body. 8 months ago I had an EMG in my right arm and leg, came back normal. 6 months ago I felt like I was having difficulty speaking so I went to my neurologist and he cleared me...
