A year ago I started feeling numbness and tingling in my leg and burning sensation in my head
I did a brain MRI which showed corticospinal tract hyperintensities which are biomarkers of Als. Neurologists said no Als and related my symptoms to anxiety but symptoms exacerbated a lot.later I began to feel weakness in my right leg,jerks and bodywide fasiculations .now my right arm is weak too.My jaw muscles are sore whenever I chew or yawn it pops ..I feel a strange crawling sensation and fasiculations in my tongue in addition to jaw incoordination , difficulty swallowing and breathing when lying down .I have also severe reflux and eructations ..I feel my speech is different and uttering words is getting difficult but not slurred speech yet .I saw many neurologists who said no clinical weakness and some told me there is no need to do an emg . Actually I am petrified to do the emg for fear that I get a confirmed diagnosis.. I am not brave enough to face it ..crying a lot not knowing what to do
