Hello,
I have gone through your query, and here is my advice.
As per your history it may be Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. As it is neuro degenerative disease which affects nerve cells in brain and spinal cord.
Please let me know do you have weakness in lower limbs , breathing difficulty?
To confirm diagnosis I would suggest you to do electromyography, nerve conduction velocity, MRI Brain with spine, TSH after detailed medical examination and Neuro physician's opinion.
Along with that continue physical and speech therapy . You can take liquid diet. You may require oxygen support in case of breathing difficulty.
Let me know i can assist you further.
