Spouse diagnosed with Bulbar onset with only EMG and MRI and short examination. The MRI says a few small white matter spots but nothing else. I don’t think the neurologist has ever diagnosed ALS before as he says he thinks it’s ALS. Spouse has slurred speech, trouble swallowing, excess saliva. No tongue fasciculations, although have seen a few small ones on inner side of right foot. I’m not convinced it’s ALS, I could be in denial. Had some speech therapy and speech seemed to improve some since attending sessions.
I have looked online and can’t seem to find an answer to my question: can you have Bulbar onset with out tongue fasiculations?
