Well the doc said that my palate looks normal and functioned normally and symmetrically. He said my voice sounded hoarse, but that my throat was red and cobblestoned. I had a long talk with him about my anxiety over my symptoms. I've been so stressed out that I lost 10 pounds in two weeks. Anyway, he sat me down and gave me a good trfogey-style run through--multiple clean emgs, two years of no changes in functionality--it just doesnt add up. We worked out a plan to help me cope with my anxiety until my follow up with the neuro. He thinks my fasiculations and brisk reflexes are umn residual from multiple concussions, and so far there's been no indication of LMN involvement on the emg. I just feel like such a jackass for letting it make me so disfunctional--especially in light of what the good folks on this forum have to deal with daily. I'm going to stay away from the forum while this gets sorted, but thank you all so much for your thoughtful input and caring responses. They have meant a lot to me over the last two years.
