Thank you all for your time and opinions. Much appreciated. I had two EMGs, one in January 2020 and end of April 2020. Was just providing updates. Sending you all blessings and light. Thanks again

Hello! I posted about 8 months ago, and then around 3-4 months ago as my neurologists have followed up. I’ll save my story as it’s in a previous post. I had my 3rd follow up yesterday. I had an normal EMG in January and another normal one at the End of April. I have constant fasciculations...

Thank you. I guess my last question is- I had my emg done in mid January before I had some of these muscle and spasticity symptoms I’m experiencing. Could it have been done too early to detect anything going on?
I had a second opinion via virtual appointment with a new neurologist today who was wonderful. He was able to see the “shuddering” muscles spasticity as well as the hyperreflexia. I did not have any notable fasciculations during the appointment but of course they’re going strong now. When Covid...
