Hello again,

I have another question concerning my possibl diagnosis. When Dr. Bril did my emg about one month ago she mumbled that the results looked "almost normal"??? Anyone on here able to explain that terminology to me.

I would think that a test would be normal or abnormal but are there also shades of grey in an emg where the results are hard to distinguish?

When she told the guy that did nerve conduction study to record results she said of the three spots she tested "normal/moderate...normal/moderate and normal/high"

Any quesses as to what that might refer to...also those who had emg's (i guess that would be everyone pretty much) how many spots were tested?

Thanks in advance for any guesses as to what this means.

I know you are not medical doctors but i think many on here know more about this stuff than alot of md's.
