These are the tongue fasciculations I'm currently having. Since 2 days ago I've also been having huge amounts of saliva in my mouth that I constantly have to swallow (although no difficulty swallowing). My tongue strength feels normal to me and I can move it quickly around my mouth and tent my cheeks but I feel like I'm slightly slurring some words. I'd just like the opinion of someone who has actual tongue fascics on whether my fascics match up with theirs. I'm not having any hoarse voice/vocal changes..
If these are true tongue fasciculations caused by bulbar ALS, is it safe to say that if I went for an EMG this week, it would pick up evidence of active denervation/reinnervation?
Thanks everyone,
