Hello all!
One week ago I had a new emg done because of observed fascikulations in my tongue by doctor (some I feel some I do not feel...) I also have continuous twitching in both legs and also random all over my body... The twitching has been going on for 14 months now.... My right leg is fatigued and stiff, worsening day by day.
The neuro mentioned tatt an emg of tongue could be difficult to perform du to the natural tonguemovement. She stuck the needle in the side of the tongue and said she could not see anything wrong. I have no problems with swallowing, but my tongue feels tired sore and dry most of the time. I first noticed tongue twithing in april this year...
The rest of the emg was normal too, but she only stuck the needle in one leg muscle (ant tibialis) and the thigh muscles. She also tested both arms and hands...
I am mostly scared about bulbar onset since fascikulations appears on my tongue as well as everywhere Else....
Do You think the emg results on my tongue can be trusted although it is supposed to be a bit difficult to perform as stated by the neuro...?
What are your experiences regarding this issue?
Thank You in advance! I have been given Great advices and informative answers on this forum, sorry if I keep bugging You with my issues....!
Have a Nice day
