Hi everyone,
I did my emg and ncs today, the guy who performed it was very friendly. Well he stuck so many times that i lost count. About 15 times perhaps? He did it all on my right side (leg, arm, foot, hand). It hurt more than i thought it would but i am happy its over. The emg was clean along with the ncs. I told him about my atrophy but he kind of ignored me... i guess he thought if it was genuine atrophy caused by als it would show up on the emg.
The one thing i also want to mention is that my mother is now getting twitches..
She said ever since she had been hearing me complaining of my fasciculations and als fears that she had been getting them too... Now i feel guilty like i somehow gave the twitches to her...
