During my neuro exam yesterday, the neuro did notice what he called a tongue "tremor," which I myself had noticed before the visit. I have read in the past that tongue fasciculations are considered a likely symptom of ALS (as opposed to other kinds of fascics), but I'm not sure about the difference, if any, between tongue fasciulations (or twitches) and tongue tremors; is this a formal terminological distinction that describes two different phenomena, or an informal variance in vocabulary to describe the same thing? Frankly, I forgot to ask the neuro if my tongue "tremor" was the same as--or looked like--tongue fasciculation, so I'm wondering what people out here know about this issue.
Thanks,
Jeff
