tongue atrophy

A little over 2 years ago, while having some speech and swallowing problems and noticing what appeared to be some subtle changes (new erosion) on tongue, I asked the speech pathologist evaluating me to take some pictures of my tongue. I also took a few. Yesterday I looked at the pics online...

I have been having seemingly increasing speech and swallowing problems the past few weeks, along with some intermittent slurring, feeling of tongue weakness and feeling tongue twitches. Yesterday a rheumatologist (examining me for other things) agreed that my tongue has less tissue and more...

Saw a rheumatologist today re. my antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (a specialist in that condition). Since have been having some slurring, weakness and twitching and what appears to be more erosion of tongue, asked her to check it. She agreed that there is less tissue and more grooving on...

I've read that it is rare for MMN to affect cranial nerves (swallowing, speech, etc.) but wonder if any who have this diagnosis have speech or swallowing problems, including any tongue atrophy? Also, can MMN symptoms fluctuate over years or are they generally progressive, even if only slowly so...

Dear friends, once again I am in need of your advice. The bulbar symptoms have become increasingly problematic for me recently. To add to the tongue atrophy and what I perceive to be tongue fascics, I am now noticing obvious signs of slurred speech. Sometimes when I speak I feel “tongue-tied”...

Hello, hoping someone can help me with Bulbar ALS symptoms. In spring I ran fever and thought I had a sinus infection,with eye strain and numb tingling under my right cheek. In August I developed a twitch under my right eye and muscle tics and spasms all over my body (mostly in my thighs and...
