I will only add that both of the nueromuscular specialists who diagnosed me seemed dismissive of the El Escorial criteria when I raised it. Like it was just one of several possible methods of analysis at best, or an annoyance at worst. They both were pretty sure what they were seeing in me. Perhaps this speaks to the incomplete nature of my 2nd EMG, or maybe to the need to modify the criteria. At a minimum, Kristina's comment above re "possible-probable" terminology makes me think the criteria is seriously misleading. Words matter. Personally I feel the criteria discussed on this forum are more helpful than the official one.
