Hello-
I have been pposting and reading this site since July of 08'. I had some bad news today.
I went to an ENT today. They did a scope to look at my throat and vocal cords. The result were that they see moderate atrophy in my left vocal cord. She said this was unusual for someone my age (31). I came to this site because when typing in my symptoms into the google machine back in July, Bulbar ALS popped up. This is the first tangible evidence that something is going on. The rest has been stuff I can feel but the Dr's couldnt actually see.
So, I guess I dont really know what to think or do at this point. I feel like I am one step closer to a diagnosed that I really dont want because I feel now that it is a real possiblility that some type of MND or bulbar ALS could be the final verdict. They sent this info to my neuro, I am sure he will call me back tomorrow. Good day,
