Hey all,
I have a question because I saw that yawning had been mentioned in quite a few threads as an early symptom. Basically I’ve had twitching for two years which I don’t really care about anymore, however since about June of last year I’ve had excessive yawning everyday, without fail. Basically a couple of times a day I will have these little yawning episodes where I’ll yawn continuously for a good five to ten minutes. I have been to countless doctors (Ent, stomach, gp, neurologist etc) and not a single one has any idea about the yawning. The only definite thing has been a diagnosis of LPR which has gotten much better under aggressive treatment, but still the yawning remains.
I just want to know if this could be related to ALS in tandem with twitching or not? Neurologists have all said that clinical is fine but they don’t really have anyway to test anything in regards to yawning and they don’t have any medicine to reduce it
thank you in advance
