First off, I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to read my posts and then to reply. This morning I had my MIR done, (both the Nueo and GP had to be convinced by my wife to do it). As soon as it was done I brought the CD to my Neuro. to be read. He asked the people in the waitng room if he could take me first. He is really a good guy.
He reveiw the MIR and told me it was fine. He once again told me that I did not have ALS. I asked hime if he was 100% sure? He replied 98%.
I again said what about my tongue? It has been twiching in the same area for the past 16 months. Not a day goes by that I don't worry that it will spread to other areas of my tongue. The tongue twichs come when I yawn, cought, form certain letters, cold or warm fluid hits it, or when I become dehydrated.
He tells me not only that my GP, ( a good freind) has been seeing me monthly for the last 16 months. He also says he has been seeing me for the last year. They did this to monitor me. Coupled with the testing they have done that is how they came to the conclussion.
I said fine but what about my tongue.He said it could be many things like damage due to the constant swelling I had due to allergic reactions or the infections due to root canals. It may be somthing I will have to live with for the rest of my life. It is also time to start thinking about getting off the Lexapro.
With out knowing why my tongue still twichs I still have deep concerns about ALS. I am to see the Nuero two weeks
I would love to hear your thought on what I should do and if my concerns are real and any question I should be asking.
Thank you
