Default Re: anyone had "almost normal" emg

Well, OK , lets look at it logically.

Me , being "almost normal" am not qualified to even play a doctor on TV.

Consider that a EMG measures the time it takes a signal to get from the probe (cattle prod) to the receptors (frankenstein wires on your leg or arm)

So , based on your words , there are ranges of times , categorized .

High
Normal High
Normal Moderate
NORMAL
Almost normal
Low
and your are effin dead

So , I would take almost normal as a good thing. Besides , what is normal anyways.

Is your doctor a neuro that specializes in MND ? If not , seek a second opinion from one.

Hope this help and you didnt laugh too much.
