Wow, Annie! Thanks for the thorough reply. All I know is my labs were drawn through Labcorp. Not sure where they send it though.
How would a neuro test for fatigable muscles? I can't remember them doing that? During my emg, they taped my fingers together and had me try to separate them as much as I could for a minute and then they did the test...I can't even remember now if it was the needle part or nerve part they did after that. I guess it was normal?
I think my neuro is looking for someone locally to do the single fiber EMG. He doesn't do them. I'm close to Kansas City so hopefully something will be available.
Is muscle burning ever a symptom? My neuro seems to think it's not, and I don't usually have it, but sometimes if my hands are above my head too long I get the tired feeling AND my shoulders will burn. He says he usually has people say their muscles just give out on them....like they quit working. I don't have that. I suppose I have a mild case of whatever I have.
Also because I don't have any swallowing/speaking issues or no/very minimal eye involvement, he doesn't really think it's MG. The only reason I'm posting on this board is that all the research I do, I keep landing back here simply based on the nature of my muscle feelings/symptoms. I feel like I don't really fit anything I've read about and I've done a LOT of reading!
Thanks to anyone for any insight you can provide!
Kelly
