Hi Al!

You have been on this site probably longer than anyone else so I consider you the historian. Do you remember having someone on here with symptoms and a completely normal EMG eventually have abnormal EMG's and get diagnosed? I have searched old post but havent had luck finding anything.

Thanks,

Gina

Hi Gina. We have had people here with symptoms that thy swear are real and have clean EMG's. Later they get a dx from bad EMG's and progression of symptoms. It doesn't happen often but it does happen and to be honest I can't remember a name to point you to. Sometimes in the early stages not much shows up on the first tsts and it becomes a waiting game. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
AL.
