Horse hockey!!! I have a neuropathy in my feet/lower legs and MG. My neuropathy was from my B12 deficiency not being diagnosed soon enough and not treated adequately right away.

Do doctors think patients are only alloted one condition or disease? I wish.

Read this for the symptoms, causes, testing, diagnosis, and treatment of neuropathy. A regular EMG is not necessarily sensitive enough for MG or a neuropathy.

Mestinon, just like caffeine, would affect an EMG.

You can find more information on the peripheral neuropathy forum here.

And if you have a neuropathy, it's important to figure out the cause of it!!! Have you had your B12 checked? If so, what is the actual number?

A neuropathy is not fun to live with. Walking a lot, bad shoes, and some foods like the MSG in tomatoes can make it worse.

I really hope you can find someone to take all of this seriously. Maybe a primary doctor is a good start, instead of going back to neurology.
