I introduced myself in the new member section, I went to update and the thread was closed.
I've read through many threads, the stickies and have lurked on and off for a while. I'd read more but I don't like to focus on it until I hear the right (wrong really) words.
I had my NCS and needle EMG done today. Neuro ordered R arm/hand and lower leg, NCS tech and EMG wound up do L & R as well as gastroc, glutes, hamstring, neck , many other muscles. I did not get a hard copy of the results but I did get a peak of the EMG while the tech left the room to retrieve the MD, only saw a handful of numbers in RED.
After EMG, MD said not normal, can't rule out upper motor neuron disease, however, believes a neck/spine MRI is necessary for further diagnostics, saying referring neuro will discuss things. Luckily, that's only a week away, now the best part, waiting...
Most positive part is he said I'm not crazy, previous MD's have made me feel like I was faking, he said "not normal" results , I couldn't get anything out of your triceps and he left rather quickly.
Not wanting to become a member of this club, no disrespect, just not something I want to put my family through...
