als question

by jayjay241, Jul 01, 2008 10:59AM
is it possible to have limb onset and bulbar onset at the same time. I had an emg done after 30 days and came back clean. most of my symptoms where in my legs and arms. two nueros said i was fine. now i feel like i have atrophy in the face and trouble swallowing only 11 weeks after symptoms first started in other parts of my body. i wouldnt say trouble swallowing. i will say like when i swallow i feel like there is something at the bottom of my throat. If i do have this and it has started in my limbs, but i havent been dx, can it travel to my face and throat this quickly. im 37. is there such thing as face atrophy in less than three months of symptoms starting.
is it possible to have muscle atrophy in five or six diff parts of your body this soon.
i thought if u had limb onset it would hit a particular limb and strongly damage it before moving somewhere else. That hasnt happening yet in my symptoms, even though i have body wide twitching on and off throughout the day and cramping. although the cramping isnt awful, its slight.
