hi spud
yes, with an EMG they can tell I have heard...
I just went for one it's really not that bad...it's more annoying
but the needle was worse in my allergic testing.It's a great test
to have nerve sensor test too.
will it be EMG of the L3 ..L4 area..
I had one for the upper spine to the brain too..
electric shock goes into you and your muscles jump just laugh it off...
I did and GLAD I went for it...
I was told I had MS,before I went for those tests
I NOW know it's Lyme Disease
please be checked by the BEST LAB
IGENEX lab in CA...
1 800 832 3200, call they will guide you and give you a kit .
get your blood drawn by your doctor and mail it out
in the box Igenex gives you....
all these years I went misdiagnosed
my legs were numb and like jello.
my spinal came back negative for lymes (not uncommon though)
and so did blood test done at Quest Lab( not uncommon though)
white markens in T spine on MRI and brain MRI 2 white lessions
and Lyme Disease is the same symptons
I am on ALOT of antibiotics,Doxy,Zithromax,Mepron and will
go on a drip of
Rocephine...and feeling better now then before
STERIODS mess you up if you have lyme disease..
also read this about ALS

FDA to Allow Ceftriaxone Study
After more than a year’s delay, during which the Food and Drug Administration received additional data showing the drug was safe to give intravenously to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients for several months, a trial of the antibiotic ceftriaxone is slated to begin this summer.
Ceftriaxone, used to treat neurologic infections, may have benefit in ALS by enhancing a chemical recycling process in the nervous system. It will be tested in some 40 centers, according to neurologist Merit Cudkowicz, an MDA research grantee at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston

Good luck all keep the faith and be your own research Doctors
I think some Dr's are too busy on the course ( golf course)
some doctors really care and listen
spud01 said:If anyone can give me insight on EMG and NCS,
what to expect. Is it painful. Will they be able to tell from these
tests if you have ALS, or can I expect more tests.
