My six month follow up with my Neuro. is on Nove. 10th. About 15 months ago I noticed that an area on the right side of my tongue would twitch when I sucked on a straw cold or hot would hit it, chew on that side or making the sh sound. I went to web Md and typed tonue twitch and it came back ALS. I saw my GP who is a freind he finally sent me to a Neuro. after he found that I was concern. I know i can be a hypo the Neuro did a complete work up including an emg he said everything was normal. I didnot beleive him and went to a second opinion in January. I was so nevrvous that he said the in this extremely anxious individual with incomplete muscle relaxation frequently during the study the veracity of the findings may be in doubt. Both the first neuro and my GP said that i had to discount the second neuro finding Needless to say that I did not beleive them and i had to go to thehospital because my gp thought I was going to have a stroke. I stayed there for 4 days.
Since then i have had a complete physical and had seen the Neuro three times. This week i saw my GP who gve me my Flu shout and he said that imy tongue still looked normal and for me to get on with my life. I told him I was seeing the Nero and what questions I should ask him. I can not tell you what he said because we are in mixed company.
Can any one give me some questions to ask. I wish that I never had the albility to go on line. My Gp says that if I had Als I would not be walking after 15 months and I would have many more symptoms and would not have been able to paint my two storry home with a ladder. The same things that my Neuro would say when I came in each time he would see more symptons
So once again I would be thankful for any questions you think I should ask
Thank You
