paralyzed muscles-now tongue flapping

Posted: Feb 21, 2011

Ok now I am so paralyzed when I stick my tongue out it jerks rapidly by itself. Went to the ER yesterday and they thought it might be myasthenia gravis or Guallain-Barre and sent me home? I have yet to see another neuro but I think my time is about up. This is really scaring me now.

To Mary - Not Doctors Here

Mary- I sympathize, but we aren't doctors here. You have had several suggestions here in previous notes. What more can we offer? You've mentioned you've seen neurologists. I'm unclear as to why they can't find anything. Not sure sympathy here will be helpful, you need more than that.

I'm sorry--not trying to discourage you from posting. I think I'm just confused. I should have asked if you've been to a really good center and had some serious tests done. That actually is my advice, to get to someplace really good and have a full battery of tests done. It can be discouraging to not have answers.

I am sure this is failed cervical spine surgery all levels. They cannot find anything else but won't admit that is what it is especially the surgeon who did it. Thanks for all your help and ideas. ...

All my brain MRI's show white matter lesions of a nonspecific demyelinating disease The neuros said this is normal for age? Has anyone ever heard of this being normal? I passed my swallow test so the last neuro ruled out MS. I guess this is failed neck surgery but my head is completely numb which does not really correlate with my neck as we all know the cranial nerves are in our brains. This is just crazy! I am just miserable and am afraid ...

Well I had a video swallow today that was normal. I wonder if that means I don't have MS? I do, however, have decreased arm and leg reflexes and white matter lesions on my brain. I am so scared with no answer and in horrifying pain in my head from occipital and trigeminal neuralgia. ...

This illness has permanently deformed my face. Can you believe it? The neuros that saw me are trying to blow this off as a "conversion disorder" when I know it is Guallain-Barre. That is the only thing that can paralyze your spine and facial muscles as I do not have MS or ALS to my knowledge. I could die from this as all my facial muscles are paralyzed. I can barely eat. I am going to see yet a 4th neuro and when I get this diagnosed I am filing a mult ...

Would you please pray for me. All my muscles are paralyzed from head to toe incuding face. Neurologists do not know what it is and do not care. I know this has to be Guallain-Barre syndrome but the doctors I have seen will not do a spinal tap as I still have leg reflexes except when I lay down. All my skin is peeling off too like a snake even my moles. I read somewhere this can happen. I am so scared for my job and my life and still trying to work like this.&nb ...
