Thanks Aly and Johnny. I think I've decided to go back and ask for the EMG tests now as I've developed a twitch in my side that is driving 5 me insane!
Johnny, you are very right about the NHS in the UK. My neuro barely looks at me when he speaks and I feel lucky to get 5 minutes of his time since I'm not a private patient. They told me they would send me for physiotherapy to make sure my muscles were stretched and mobile but 6 months later I'm still waiting for the referral.
I refuse to be forced into going private as I feel the same as you - we pay masses in tax and national insurance contributions to support the health service so think it is unfair that you can jump the queue if you can afford to pay again.
