Hi Leslie,
Not so good. I had a NCV and EMG test at the Cleveland Clinic. The nurse did the NCV test, and the Neurologist did the EMG test. The Neurologist that did the EMG test, said it wasn't clean, so he had a second Neurologist do the EMG test again. He asked me where I was the weakest, and I told him my left leg. Then he asked me if I was injured? I told him no, that I had no injuries. He apologized that I was stuck with so many needles, and to have a good weekend, which is the last thing I am having. They did five blood tests too.
I called the doctor on Friday, and his secretary said that he wasn't in, and would call me on Monday. I'm making a list of things to ask him, so I don't forget when he calls me. If this Neurologist doesn't have an answer to my muscle weakness, difficulty in swallowing, weight loss, nasal sounding voice, stiff muscles, difficulty in breathing, cramps and muscle twitching, I don't know what I can do.
When the Neurologist tested me, I could not do heel and toe walking, or get up off the floor, without him pulling me up. I can just barely walk now.
