Hi
I have reposted another post here for worrying i might have ALS. I was in the proccess of getting better from my anxiety, but today i had something weird. I felt my tongue twitching. I also have a weird feeling while swallowing, like phlegm in throat, and a lumpy thing at the base of my tongue. I also feel that sometimes my words are not being told correctly, like for example yesterday i said instead of cheese (with z) cheese (with s instead of z). I am really worried i may have bulbar ALS progression.
I can do the tests for my tongue, the strength is good, i can move it side to side (not very quickly but fairly enough), and i can say ka pa la many times quickly. Sometimes i have problem pronouncing ra but anyway. I also suffer from slight dementia, like i cant find words to talk, (very mild) and i am worrying. I also have muscle twitching all over my body too, although the time i was relaxing for 3-4 days they started decreasing... I dont choke when drinking water or eating food, but i feel weird when i swallow my own saliva,spit. I also feel my throat ( atthe base of my tongue dry and other times like phlegmy). Any idea about that?
i also checked my tongue about weird spots like if it was deteriorating in size but it seems quite normal. I really know that the chances of having bulbar ALS especially in the age of not even 20 (in 1 month 20 ) are reallyyyyy small, (without family history of ALS as i at least know), but when i put together all my symptoms it seems like its the beggining of the disease (initial stages). Any support here or opinions?
Please help me because i am really worried...
