Hello, could you please tell me your opinion if the symptoms which I have could be ALS or PBP?
Im 38 years old woman.
Since august I have twitching all over my body, both upper arm weakness, occasionaly
weakness in my flexors neck muscles, strange feeling in my tongue.
I had 2x EMG /in august and september/ which were negative.
The arm weaknes i dont have anymore.
In october i was on agressive treatment for Lyme disease ( I have Lyme since 2006 ). I took strong combination of antibiotics, antimycotics and immunity boosting meds.
While I was on this treatment I start to noticed small problem with swallowing in my esophagus. It was like dry bread going down the esophagus slowly. After 1 month I finished the treatment.
But now during last month I developed following symptoms. It worsen day by day.
- Problem with swallowing in the throat area, I have feeling that dry food like bread goes down slowlier, with other food and liquids i dont have problems
- Muscle stiffnes on my neck (sternocleidomastoid i think on both sides)
- Sometimes muscle stiffnes under my chin
- Since last week I developed stiffnes around my mounth ( mostly under my lips area ) - i can feel this stiffnes/ tightness sometimes when Im speaking. I can speak clear ( no slurred speach) but I feel some stiffnes on my face while articulating.
- I have strange feeling in my tongue and in the mouth - like tingling, and sometimes like electricity
- 2 times i feel and I saw my tongue twitching after eating ( it was like electricity feeling and I saw 3-4 twitches in one place on the tongue. After while it stopped.
Do you think this is ALS or PBP?
