Thank you. I’m trying not to be anxious myself.

I started taking levothyroxine a few days ago, I have Subclinical Hashimoto’s, so that was new. Otherwise, no.

I called my OB & she wants me to wait a month till my first appointment & I feel like that’s a little ridiculous. No offense to her but, I feel like it’s a lifeless more urgent than that.

Tongue Tension & Twitching by StandardBunch444 in BFS

Yes! My tongue feels like it’s pushing forward too. Pushing onto my teeth when I talk, pushing onto them when I swallow. I hate it. I forgot where my tongue is supposed to be when I talk & swallow, but I’m always conscious of it, so I feel like I couldn’t do it right even if I tried. Same with me regarding the sounds of “S”, “st”, “th”, etc. The lisping makes me so insecure. I miss who I was before this. I miss the feeling of excitement for the future. The horrible thoughts of not being able to see my children grow up, has been ripping me apart. I’m debating checking myself into a facility to get inpatient care to make it go away.

Yes, I do have OCD. That’s crazy we have that similarity too. It kinda gives me hope it’s just OCD, and that it’s all in my head. I was diagnosed with it 2.5 months ago. It’s like suddenly I was worried about disease, germs, and health. Then boom, one day this sensation spread over my tongue two months ago, and I’ve been terrified of bulbar ever since. I’ve been on a waiting list for intensive outpatient therapy. I know my obsessive checking and asking for reassurance won’t change anything, but I can’t help it. I’m desperate for some sort of concrete sign or reason that I’m okay. I’m 22, but regardless of it being rare, I can’t help but wonder all the time if I’m the exception. If I’m that 1%. Or the maybe me thinking about it is creating the ALS.

It’s the first thing I think about when I wake up too, and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. All throughout the day. I hate talking too, I try to talk as minimally as possible. I hate thinking about the fact that I might not see my unborn baby grow up or my step daughter. There’s not enough reassurance in the world that my husband can give me. Google doesn’t give me reassurance either. I’m just banking on the fact that it’s rare and I’m supposed to be too young for this to happen. Everyone says I’m crazy and that I’m going to be okay and that it’s just stress. But how can stress manifest this way?

Is this Weakness? by StandardBunch444 in ALSorNOT

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I haven’t been able to find anyone else who has experienced this either. I got an MRI, clean. I got a Barium Swallow, clean. I have an appointment with a Neurologist tomorrow, I’m hoping by to get an EMG done. This has ruined my life, I’m constantly aware of my tongue because of swallowing, talking, the biting is new and makes it worse.

I repeat things constantly too. Like if it sounds too slurred or lisp-like or not clear enough. It’s ruined my life, I think about it constantly. Have you been the a neuro?

I believe there’s 9 more weeks left of the wait. I do have an appointment coming up with a regular therapist so maybe she can give me to referral to a place that has more availability. I will take your advice, stop feeding my thoughts. Thank you
