I would hold off on genetic testing at this point. Have they done extensive bloodwork for neuropathy and checked if you are dehydrated, electrolytes balance, infection, inflammation, etc.?

Here is what AI said about your EMG result. There is no mention about jumping to genetic testing.

Increased insertional activity on an electromyography (EMG) test typically suggests enhanced muscle excitability, which can indicate several underlying conditions.
Potential Causes of Increased Insertional Activity

Neuromuscular Disorders

Myopathy: This can occur due to inflammatory conditions like polymyositis or due to metabolic myopathies.
Neuropathies: Peripheral neuropathies may show increased activity at the site of entry.
Muscle Injury or Strain

Acute Muscle Strain: Recent injuries can lead to heightened insertional activities.
Other Conditions

Electrolyte Imbalances: Abnormal levels of potassium or calcium can affect muscle excitability.
Infection or Inflammation: Conditions like myositis or muscle infections may also result in increased activity.
Diagnostic Considerations

Further evaluation, including clinical history, other diagnostic imaging, laboratory tests, and perhaps a biopsy, may be necessary to pinpoint the exact cause. It’s important to discuss these EMG findings with a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

@dlydailyhope
my mom is here with me. i have so many different symptoms some include extreme muscle weakness which i know use a walker and a wheelchair, involuntary muscle spasms, pain, numbness, aching pains, migraines, bowel dysfunction, blurry vision and more.
a couple little things i have gotten diagnosed with along the way are raynauds syndrome, spinal stenosis, herniated disc, PAD in my right leg, swollen lymph node in the back of my throat (it flares up and gets hard to breathe, swallow, talk)

my ANA blood results showed cytoplasmic and nuclear speckled positive.
most all of my blood results have came back normal.

i do not have a diagnosis. i am currently taking cymbalta, baclofen, and ativan. none of which helps.
