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! https://t.co/PbRYpvBt0R

[Anishee Undavia, MD @neurobuckets]

Thrilled to see the neurobuckets framework helping learners and reducing neurophobia.

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'
