Hello. First of all I'm sorry for all that got diagnosed with this terrible disease, my prayers are with you.
I'm very concerned about having this disease because I've been noticing the past few days I'm having some trouble speaking some words are hard to speak, I don't now if it is slurring or not. Noone commented but I feel something is wrong. My tongue is strong. I had a neuro appointment 2 weeks ago and that was clear... No babinski, normal reflexes (slightly brisk but normal) and no fasciculations in tongue. Neuro said EMG was not needed because I show no signs of ALS...
So what can be causing these speaking issues? I know I'm not speaking normal I can clearly tell I have difficulty getting some words right.
I can say papapa kakaka tatata and lalala fast by the way.
So my quick question is: Can slurring come before weakness in tongue or does weakness always precede slurring?
Also should I get an EMG even though neuro thinks it's not needed?
