Why the disappointment? (you may ask...)
Oh, it came out with normal readings and that is all good, of course. No, no, no! It was a disappointment because the neurologist used too small of a needle and didn't wiggle the thing around enough. It was just plain, too comfortable. Next time, I'm requesting the big, square needle!
Now, the NCV test! Wow! That was a real kicker! Loved the high voltage runs! Do it to me one more time! Once is never enough!
Yep, that one was a normal read, too. All good. The Doc isn't convinced I have PLS because I'm not much different than 4 years ago (another good thing) but whatever it is has spread up my left side to encompass my hip and left forearm. Stiffness but no weakness (good, good, good!).
So, doc, if you're reading this, the next time we do this EMG thing, have some fun with it!
