Hello,
Currently in the process of elimination/potential diagnosis. Hand weakness kicked all this off (noted clinically by local Neuro). Blood work normal, normal MRI. No EMG yet...asked to be referred to a center of excellence for EMG.
Referred to UCSF, but waiting....
Waiting sucks. I drink way too much lately to numb the mental gymnastics and fear of what is to come.
How did you handle this part? Is there any way to speed up the initial consult/EMG at places with expertise?
