I would not assume that it is ALS. It seems like that would be an unusually slow progression for that. However, the symptoms are concerning. Good luck.

5-10% of patients live over 10 years after diagnosis, a significant number also get diagnosed after years of "first symptoms".

The numbers are deceptively misleading when you hear 3-5 year life exptectancy after DX, because most people don't get diagnosed until several years of symptoms.

Nothing else explains the fasiculations with progressive asymmetrical weakness that also involve my bulbar regions..
