Funny question but does anyone else have trouble trying to yawn? I sit here sometimes with my mouth open like a baby bird waiting to be fed but still can’t yawn like I use too

I have the complete opposite issue, constant yawning! I know I’m not tired and I’m yawning and yawning 🥱
I think someone mentioned in an earlier thread that excessive yawning had some connection to MND….? -
I yawn frequently but with so much energy that my jaw hurts.
Yawning is sort of contagious. Try watching some videos of people yawning and see if that encourages yawns.Diagnosed December 2020 with lower limb onset ALS, now involving hands and arms.Comment

Excessive yawning is a symptom. My late Husband Mick used to yawn a lotComment

I have the exaggerated yawning problem. Not a nice gentle yawn but like some demented animal. No idea why.Comment

Me too. Huge yawns that nearly dislocate my jaw, followed by teeth crunching. Weird joys/hazards of MND xDiagnosed July 2020, ALS bulbar onset. PEG and ventilator (mainly at night), and pretty poor speech, but legs still about functioning!Comment

I often find it difficult to yawn. It is frustrating because I feel the need to yawn but nothing happens! Other times I have the wide ‘hippo’ yawn that can be really painful at times. My jaw seems to constantly shift too.Bulbar onset diagnosed Nov 21. No speech but limbs ok so far.Comment

Me too. When I blow I have very little puff but when I yawn it goes on for ages and make the strangest guttural noises that I can’t prevent….very strange.
