Hello my name is zack. Everything started with a constant twitch 5 months ago. Soon after I had them on every part of my body. Face,tongue,scalp,neck,chest,stomach,hands,fingers,feet,butt,legs and arms.
This past week i have been inhaling saliva breathing through my nose. Also have a hard time swallowing food everytime i eat.
I noticed a wierd zapping feeling on the tip of my tongue 2 months ago and thats when i noticed the twitching.
I've been to the doctors and he told me to stick out my tongue. It quivers all over like gelatin. He referred me to a neurologist, but its going to take a month to see him. The thing that worries me is inhaling saliva not the twitching.
When i work out i can still lift the same weights I could months before i noticed symptoms. I am a 29 year old male.
Also no gerd as my doctor prescribed me anti acid medication a week go plus i watch what i eat. Still have the inhaling saliva and hard to swallow foods.
1. Can bulbar als start like this?
2. When twitching is caused by als would I have noticed tongue atropy already after two months?
3. Are swallowing problems more common than slurred speech?
thanks.
