fibrillations?
during my studies of the cns i found out myelin sheaths surround peripheral nerves as well as in the cns.
ms is the demyelition of the myelin sheath in the greater white matter of the brain, vibration sensation is a common symptom.
smaller unmyelinated nerve fibres conduct impulses more slowly than the larger ones associated with demyelition in ms.
so could the vibration sensation we feel be something to do with abnormal impulses caused by damage to the nerve fibres in the peripheral nerves? and could this be related to fibrillations? would some peripheral nerves be classed as umn/lmn? .
also another thing. there are sensory nerves in the tongue. i have tingling and slight numbness and my tongue feels bigger,this gets worse as the day goes on after talking/eating etc.
as this is bulbar and is from damage to the brain stem would it show up on a emg/sensory that is? i have been told both umn and lmn shows on a emg in bulbar.
what would the sensory feelings indicate?
i also feel like the back of my tongue into my throat is straining,maybe spasms.
under my chin has felt sore deep inside also under my tongue.
wright........you are forgiven lol
