Hi
Please can anyone give me any suggestions as to what is wrong. I have had an MRI but awaiting results (they take 2 weeks).
My tongue has atrophy and fasciculations and one of the nerves (under tongue) is yellowy, numb and swollen. Speech is affected but I can swallow. Other than that I am fine.
I haven't seen a neurologist yet but everyone in the hospital that has seen me have no idea what is wrong, which is pretty scary.
Does this sound like ALS ? or hypoglossal nerve palsy?
Thanks
