That's a pretty bad conundrum! Hmm, do I take drugs to avoid becoming worse or do I not take them just to have a solid diagnosis?

Yes, IVIG can interfere with EMG or SFEMG results. Which one are you having?

Any treatment that reduces the antibody process, and improves the disease, can make an EMG look normal. However, some people still have a positive one even while on immunosuppressants.

Erin, it all depends on how you are doing, which hasn't been great lately, right? If you can put IVIG off until the day after the test, then maybe you could try that. I'm not at all saying what you should do!!! And ask your doctor about it as well.

I really hope everything goes well.
