Thank you for anyone willing to read my post. I’m a 38 y/o female that started having odd symptoms just over 2 weeks ago. These have developed over the last couple of weeks and it feels as though they’ve gone from from mild to more noticeable.
-awkwardness when I talk, tongue feels stiff and I have a hard time annunciating certain sounds
-difficulty swallowing, food feels as if it won’t go down my throat unless I take a gulp of water. Small amounts of liquid and saliva seem to pool in the back of my throat , throat slightly sore, globes sensation
-fasciculations everywhere - chin, neck, lips, hands, feet, legs, trunk. Like little popping fireworks.
-Hands fumbling, weak, feet feel a little off balanced.
-cramps in neck.
-odd sensation in my mouth/chin/nose. Like pressure or stiffness?
-several urges to have a bowel movement during the day (I’m usually a one and done morning pooper)
I’m pretty aware that you all don’t need another self diagnosing anxious person in this forum, but if anyone reads this and has had a similar experience I’d appreciate any feedback.
I have an appt with a neuro but it’s in a month and I told myself I wasn’t going to post but I’m having a moment of weakness. Thank you for listening. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this devestating disease.
