Ok this all started with yawning frequency! I came across a article that said this was sometimes a sign of bulbar ALS. At that same time, I had remembered that 2 days in a row I had coughing with thin liquids.
Now fast forward 4-6 weeks....
I am no longer having the frequent yawning, but I continue to have at 3-4 “choking with water” episodes a week. No issues with food, except for feeling it stuck occasionally. In the back of my mind I keep thinking bulbar, bulbar, bulbar. And then today.....TWITCHING in my right calf. I can’t see it or feel it from the outside and maybe twitching isn’t the right word. It feels like a tightening in one spot that rhythmically tightens and releases. It’s been happening since around lunch time today, so roughly 8 hrs. It’s not constant, but it happens maybe like 30-40 times an hour. It doesn’t hurt. Of course I’m freaking out! I read that with BFS, the twitch stops with muscle use. However using the muscle has no affect on this. That has me very very nervous!! What is going on?!?
