Hello again! My symptoms with right hand and right leg weakness are kind of the same, nothing worse, nothing better. What intrigues me is that for three weeks now I have had a lump in my throat feeling and mild dysphagia (feeling food is stuck in my throat and I have to make an additional effort to pass it down). Also, I feel that my speech isn’t the same as it was before (I find it hard to finish sentences, my voice is a little bit hoarse, I pronounce “s” differently). I’ve seen posters around here that said bulbar onset can present initially with lump in throat feeling accompanied by slurred speech. That’s why I’m very worried. I only ran some blood tests, my CK levels are normal. My tongue movement is fine.
Do you believe I should see a neurologist? Only thing that calms me is that bulbar onset is extremely rare in young age (although I did read about 30 something or 40 years old persons that have it). Thank you a lot!
