She says,
"I've been really tired lately and my voice keeps giving out"
A case:
1/ A woman in her 30's presents with:
-Progressive fatigue over 6-8 weeks
-Slurred speech at times
-Difficulty chewing and swallowing dinner
Exam:
-Speech is a bit nasal
-Mild proximal weakness in the legs
-Sensory reflexes and gait normal.
-Able to stand up easily out of the chair
Normal sensation and reflexes, without a clear focal pattern, makes a central process unlikely.
First time #AANAM was a huge success! Thank you to Dr. @BraydonDymm for letting me coerce him into gifting me the Circle of Willis! Best thing ever🙊

How many neurologists does it take to get a podcast onto Apple Podcasts?
...two, but it takes us a while. 😬 Immature Brains is now available WHEREVER you get your podcasts.
And @NotoriousEMG will upload the (hilarious) November pod soon! dashboard.rss.com/podcasts/i…

What did we learn about TARANTISM yesterday?
💃 Tarantism was disorder characterized by constant dancing, hallucinations, and mood symptoms
🕷️ It was thought to be due to the bite of the tarantula
🥁 The cure was music! Musicians would perform a 'musical exorcism'
This was a fun project! Check out our new website for all events and resources in one place!

Thank you @neuro_podcast for this wonderful opportunity to talk about my favorite, Neuro-ophthalmology. The timing is perfect with @ContinuumAAN being the Neuro-ophthalmology month.
@novelnanos @journalneurooph @NANOSTweets @AAOjournal @UMMC_NeuroRes @UMMC ophthalmology.
In keeping with @ContinuumAAN’s theme of the month, our latest episode is all about neuro-ophthalmology!
Join Dr. @manasa_gunturu to hear her fellowship experiences, learn the art of detailed history taking, specialized examination skills, and evaluation of common complaints!

I have learnt that everyone is going through something stressful. People don't always talk about it. Someone up in the universe finds us the right people to support us at the right time. Always be kind; it may make a huge difference for another.
