Good Morning All, I am in a quandary about whether or not my symptoms are suggestive of ALS and would very much appreciate some opinions from those in the know. I appreciate you must get a lot of questions but really quite concerned, and a lot of website can be quite contradictory about onset.
To summarise over the past month I have experienced:
WIDESPREAD VISIBLE BODY TWITCHING.
POOLING OF SALIVA IN FRONT OF MOUTH WHILE SINGING (NEVER HAPPENED SINGING SAME SONGS PREVIOUSLY)
A SCRATCHY MILD SORE THROAT WHEN I HAVE TALKED A WHILE OR AFTER SINGING TO THE KIDS.
A PHLEGMY THROAT WHICH COMES AND GOES.
AND A WEIRD ONE, I KEEP SINGING SONGS OUT OF TUNE. THINGS IVE SUNG FOR YEARS JUST LOSE THE TUNE SLIGHTLY.
VOICE CRACKS OR LOSE MY VOICE WITH CERTAIN WORDS/NOTES MOMENTARILY.
SOMETIMES VOICE GOES QUITE DEEP SOUNDING (OR THIS IS HOW I PERCEIVE IT)
I AM 39 , OTHERWISE HEALTHY. NO ISSUES WITH SWALLOWING, BAR YESTERDAY I ALMOST CHOKED ON A CEREAL?!
Do these symptoms sound suspect? Also does a sore throat happen with bulbar onset?
Hope you are all ok with this post, just hoping to get a little insight from those more knowledgeable than me. I think those suffering and caring are so brave.
Best regards
Larry
