This latest EMG was done only on my thumb muscle, he iced my hand to the point of numbness then tested it. I do not have Myotonia. That is when i got up the courage and i said do i have a possible MND, he looked at me like huh? I said it again, then he said, today we are looking at your muscles to see if you have a muscle disease and you do not. Also we have ruled out a disorder of the peripheral nerves. So what is affecting your reflexes and causing the clonus is not in either one of those. The physical therapist is more concerned about my muscles AND she was the one who discovered the clonus as i did the walking test last year. The doc found out about it and ever since then because even though i have trouble with my muscles the UMN signs are more of a confirmation to him that something is going on. We stared at each other for a moment, then i said.. So i just go on as normal and something happen i contact you? He said, oh no we have to find out what is causing this! Then he said his secretary would get up with me for my follow up... I am at peace right now with not knowing what i have, but its the emotional side of me i fear. I fear for me and those around me, I think my mind has come to terms with the chaos of it all but my body wants to go bezerk..
Apparently i have brisk finger reflexes now and something about my stomache muscles... When he tapped my elbow the left side of my face started twitching like crazy! When certain reflexes are examined it hits me like a ripple effect and i feel it all over. Sam
