Hi,
I am a 20 year old Female which I know is young to get this disease. I have posted here before and people quite rightly gave me advice to go to the Doctor, but I haven't been able to get an appointment. I have had months of twitching mostly in lower body. I have recently developed throat problems. When I speak my soft palate doesn't rise on either side, it stays there. I can lift it a bit and then it goes back down. It doesn't stay for the whole sound of 'aah' e.t.c. like other people's do. However, if I sort of breathe the sounds it moves like everyone else's. Is this still the Bilateral Soft Palate Weakness? Is the reason I can sort of breathe/whisper the sounds because my breathing hasn't been effected yet? I have no other problems with my throat except it hurts when I swallow and to me it sounds like I have a sore throat, though I wouldn't describe it as nasally. How did everyone else's soft palates get effected? I understand people don't like people posting their symptoms much but I'm so scared and would appreciate your reply.
Thank You
