I really want to stress how helpful you guys are (in stark contrast with doctors)  |
I do have a genetic neuropathy with muscle wasting and yes, it does show up as a problem on the EMG. My daughter, who is my only biological child without hereditary neuropathy symptoms, had a clean EMG. This is only anecdotal information of course, but it may be reassuring to you.
A disease with acquired progressive muscle wasting is an atrophy as opposed to a dystrophy. Confusion can result because CMT or hereditary neuropathy is under the umbrella of the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
