Hi Sadiemae-
I guess I'm afraid that the EMGS were wrong, that they didn't test enough spots/muscles, their skill doing/interpreting, such stuff, also that I have this weakness and tightness in my limbs, and twitching of 6 months, and am so afraid with no answers. I've also have fluctuating swallowing problems for the past 10 months, my tongue feels weird, jaw tightness, and facial tightness. Both neuros say I don't have ALS, I want to believe them but I want to know what's wrong. Would the EMGS also show other lower motor neuron diseases? Please, I need support from someone who has been there and knows about EMG testing and their reliability, I don't mean to be a pain, I just scared...
Do the neuros need to be neurophysiology certified, even if they are at an ALS center? I saw that neither Miller nor Katz are neurophysiology certified, I just want to know from your experience that they are skilled with EMG/diagnosis despite not having that badge? I'm just so scared....
anyone-
I have not been tested for MG, and although the doctors flat out refused to test me for this( the 2 blood tests), I think that I have good reason to ask for them. I've read that MG presents itself from mild to extreme, and they wouldn't do it cause I wasn't showing something extreme for the. My eyes don't droop to the point of viability, but I have the uncoordinated eye sensation that comes on, kind of heavy eyes, like they are not moving right. Then it goes away after a while...any person familiar with MG, I would appreciate your comments.
