Hi Rachel, rereading here as I’m dreading my rescheduled EMG for 9/4. So what happened with your recent EMG? Did you get any useful info. And perhaps a new direction for treatment? My dr hasn’t made it too clear why she wants me to have this done? I’m just told there’s no cause and no cure for the neuropathy. Take care,
Joanne

@wisfloj Hey, Joanne. You poor thing. You are still streesing yourself out about this test. I don't think anyone can truly change how you feel about it. You're going to just have to tough it out and realize it's not going to kill you and you will get through it, or cancel it. Personally, I requested to be retested with EMG/NCS because I wanted to rule out any advancements in to Large Fiber Neuropathy. My results were negative! Thankfully so. Its diagnostic so you can better understand your body and either confirm or dispel a diagnosis.
Best wishes,
Rachel
