Hello,
I just want to update my symptoms.
Since December 2020 I have problems with my tongue. It started to change in appearance and in size. It’s progessing SLOWLY. After 1,5 year since my problems with tongue started I have now atrophy on it and some twitching ( not constant - but now almost daily) mostly in 2 same spots on my tongue. These twitching look like small spasms - they are mostly on 1 same place / sometimes on another one same place. I can induce these twitches by pressing my tongue harder to the side in the mouth.
I can speak clear. I don’t have slurred speach.
Another symptom is whole body twitching ( legs, arms, face ……) - not constant - not in the same place. One twitch here another there. Not always.
My neurologist ordered me for a consultation to neuromuscular doctor - to give their opinion from what I can have this problems and maybe to do some other tests.
Can I ask you please about your opinion - could it be something else causing tongue atrophy and spasm/twitching than Als? Are there some other diagnoses that can do this except MND?
Last EMG I had was in May 2021 (whole body including tongue) - which was clean.
Anothet was in November 2021 (only from tongue) which was clean again.
Thank you
