Sam, I’ll do this again… you’ve posted 6 messages and received 14 replies.
I’ll write this again… anyone can push their Neuro for a second EMG
and some push for a third (or go elsewhere for a third) because of
their persistent ALS anxiety even though the first cleared them of
ALS. (But many...thanks to Dr. Google they go on.)
An EMG is an expensive test, probably more than other neurological
tests. That test is profit based, they don’t do them at break even much
much less at a loss. The, Neuro, techs, nurses, maybe another consultant
that looks at the test are paid well. (Well, the nurses maybe questionable).
There’s the legal concern too if they don’t. Not all, but the facility that
do the tests… why not ? $$$
It's up to you. And, being 29 years old gets me to write again.... ALS
is a rare disease and the odds (10X) are even rarer against you having
ALS.
