Hi JG – Sorry to hear about your flare up. I was going to write a long post in an attempt to convince you that what you have is benign (although a pain in the a$$ and other places), and to be expected with BFS, especially in light of the fact that you had a normal EMG (!) and also after a non-coincidental “nasty viral illness.” Before I put all that effort into composing a thoughtful post, I’m wondering if there's an easier way. If you live within a 2 hour drive of NJ, then I’ll just drive to where you are, and give you a whack in the head.
Let me know.
Cheers,
-Bill
