now i'm not one for self pity but i'm not a" happy bunny" today, these bulbar symptoms are something else.
last night while as usual trying to eat my meal with all the dignity of a "cow chewing the cud" i practically hit the ceiling howling in pain...............yes i bit my tongue,badly.
it all happend so quick that i dont know exactly what happened but my teeth/jaw just slammed shut like a vice and my brain was not quick enough to tell my tongue to move out of the way. i though i had bitten a chunk out of the left hand side.
then later on and today my tongue is tingling like mad and is very sore.
on top of this i have started having spasms in the right side of my face/mouth that are very distressing and leaves it feeling like i have had a stroke. also if i dont swallow regularly excess saliva goes to the back of my throat and i start choking.
i am used to the body symptoms but when its the bulbar areas it seems harder to deal with. i lost nearly 11/2 stone early on in the year not being able to chew and even though my weight has stabblized i can't put it back on again.
as i said i'm not a "happy bunny" so sorry for moaning on and thankyou for listening.
god bless
