Thank you Deb and Luke for your feedback. I was concerned when I saw the report suggested issues with the ulnar motor nerves. I have been twitching all over for 2 years now immediately following a vaccine I received. One week after, the widespread twitching began and had been here ever since...

Hi All, I received the report from Cedars Sinai on my EMG/NVC study. Much of the explanation and terminology reads like a foreign language to me. Any advice or help? I'm concerned since the impression suggests the study is abnormal. Thank you! EMG & NCV Findings: Bilateral median, radial and...

Hello Ms. Pie, Thank you for sharing your experience and I am truly sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I see a lot of conflicting information about hyporeflexia...do you know if this is something of concern with motor neuron disease?

Hello All- Its been awhile since I have been on the boards but wanted to check in and post an update on my "condition" along with EMG results from today. I have been twitching since Nov 2010. My twitching presented in both calves and feet and has remained a constant since day one. I also get...

Trfogey. THANK YOU. Seriously, thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. My ignorance on the subject caused me to fear the worst. I didn't know the EMG/NVC could show where the issue is located in the nerve (brain/spine versus peripheral fibers). Thanks, Steve

I'm sorry Wright...my last post really did not come out right. I meant to say, is it a safe assumption that I have two issues? First issue being the bi lateral ulnar entrapment AND the second being BFS? Both issues presented at the same time in Dec 2010...that is what prompted my initial...

Hello Notme, You are correct in what the neurologist suggested on the findings. I did not leave that out for any reason other than I assumed people would know that was the outcome of his findings. I like your suggestion...and will make sure to follow up. My concern is how can a neurologist...

Hi Trfogey, My concern is the doctor only tested my right arm at the ulnar nerve. This is the only time my right arm has ever been tested. The neurologist suggested bi lateral ulnar issues and detected weakness in my left hand. I can't feel or see this weakness in my left hand. If anything my...

Hello, I want to post my recent EMG study and seek the opinion of the forum. I appreciate your feedback, opinion, and recommendations. My left arm, right leg, and right ulnar were tested. My concern is why would the neurologist not test my entire right arm? Also the explanation was not clear to...

Yes, my skype ID is Steve_Houck I am going to try to reach you on skype but lets connect! My email address is [email protected]

Seriously. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and taking the time to read/reply to my post. At the end of the day I guess I was searching for answers thinking that I could somehow change whatever it is that is going on with my body. The bottom line is whatever happens now...is going to...

@Ted...I agree. My doctors have NOT seen clinical weakness or atrophy (well at least nothing they have suggested). The problem is each doctor (neuro, rheum, primary care, etc) all diagnosed me with something different, and then pass me to someone else for another opinion or follow up. So far I...

@TR...totally agree with you regarding the malpractice however, you cannot sue ANYONE (doctor or pharm company) for an adverse reaction to a vaccine. This was ruled on by the US Supreme Court in Feb of 2010. That being said, I do not blame the doctor who admin the vaccine. I also still believe...

Thank you for the responses... Listen, I may have not posed the question clearly...I simply was curious if an EMG as a "baseline" had to be performed by the same doctor. Maybe this is a bad example but with blood tests, if you use the same lab you get similar results (assuming nothing has...

Hello, I have a question regarding EMG follow up. Is it critical to have a follow up EMG with the same neurologist that performed the first EMG? I understand an EMG is very subjective and my first neurologist (not an ALS or MND specialist) found some mild positive sharp waves in my lumbar...
