Hi all
I am new on here and looking for support and advice.
My father developed a stammer a year ago which has progressed over the passed year. His speech is now very slurred and sometimes he cannot get any word out at all, for a few minutes. His swallow is impaired and he coughs a lot.
MRI and barium swallow inconclusive
His neurologist says his tongue is small and fasciculating
MG investigated, ACH Abs and MUSK Abs negative (he also started on pyridistigime, which hasn't helped at all.
He is now waiting for results of EMG and nerve conduction studies. . .
Help and advice much needed please x x
