My 8 months EMG repeat is in 2 months to evaluate my ALS/MND. Recently I've completed videofluroscopy that showed dysphagia severity 3 with tongue fasciculations not previously seen 6 months ago by neuro. My recent chest CT showed mild right lower lobe bronchiectasis due to chronic aspiration. My OT recorded grip weakness at 37lb and 38lb and lots of distal hand atrophy. In addition to my whole body constantly twitching, I'm developed now upper right area above my lip twitching as of 2 weeks ago especially after more walking or doing more straining activity with my hands. My leg and hand weakness is noticeably worsening and I'm generally more fatigue worsened by muscle tension.
My FVC and FEV1 dropped in 3 months from 78 to 72 but I was told it could fluctuate. Repeat is in 2 months. All other restrictive lung issues rulled out.
As my ALS/MDN could be associated to my Allgrove syndrome, which is autosomal recessive AR do any of you have ALS subtype that is AR ? Also, any have relatable symptoms above? Thanks!
