Few months ago I started feeling short of breath for example had to sit down after vacuuming for a couple minutes . It seem to have resolved . Then i got fatigue all over body and limbs . Limbs seemed to be real heavy and tired . Then I started twitching everywhere . Then I noticed little things like dents in my hand near thumb. Noticeably weak left hand and left foot . After that my right arm seems to begin to fail . Lately which caused me real concern and to post this was bulbar symptoms .my neck is weak . Trouble holding head up .my jaw is weak . tongue is weak Having more difficulty talking and eating . and scalloped tongue and I’m starting to stutter a lot . I visited my doctor a few times over this whole ordeal and seen a neuro both said I’m fine after extensive blood work testing and neuro exam . Neuro didn’t look at my tongue when I visited him .
Could bulbar have been missed during exam . He used an instrument to hit my arm elbow knees and feet to test my reflexes . And tested my strength .
