Hi all! Realize I'm probably grasping here but just wondering if Lymes could cause abnormal EMG's. Waiting, impatiently :?:, for my Lyme WB test results but curious if the Lymes could cause this. Again, know it's a big stretch since the abnormal EMG's were in three limbs but....

Thanks for any input!
 
leave a visitor message for Wright, he is the EMG expert!
I THINK that lyme can cause an abnormal emg but whether it can mimic als don't know.
I do hope lyme is your answer!
 
Thanks Nikki! The more I think about it I guess it is possible since my neuro was pretty intent on getting the western blot test even after my EMG. The basic ELISA/EIA test came back as positive at 1.12 and 1.09 is a positive reading. So, either the neuro thinks its a possibility or he thinks I have both, fun.... LOL
