Well that is frustrating. EMGs can be so hit or miss. And sometimes it's the person doing the EMG that is hit or miss. My peroneal nerve has damage - I had 2 EMGs one year apart. I'm lucky they both EMGs both showed the same result, given that the resident who did my first one was so confused that she had to call the tech into the room to help her. I was lucky recipient of more zapping on other leg that wasn't supposed to be tested. Dang teaching hospitals.

Well it looks like you are on a good path right now and if it doesn't pan out, maybe you or one of your kids could take a lyme test of some sort. The unfortunate thing for you is lyme docs in your area are so outrageous. I still can't get over the cost. It would be cheaper for you to fly to Wisconsin and get an evaluation from someone here.

Well you probably saved your money on some mycotoxin test as it's fairly expensive. The proof will be in the pudding if the treatment makes you better. I hope you make some headway on this. It's hard to keep positive while living with all this pain.
