I forgot to tell you all about the EMGs-- I got the one done on Thursday, and the doctor did just my right side, because she said by testing just one side she could tell me if I did or didn't have a nerve disease.

They turned out normal. Yay! I don't have to go and get the next done, as I have a permanent dx of RSD now.

The EMG sure flared up my RSD!! OWW! I didn't quite realize how bad it was going to be... the electrical zaps of the EMG nearly killed me (erg! ), and then he needles burnt me half to death so I moaned and screamed through it... I am just so relieved that I don't have to go back. The doctor who did it wasn't real compassionate, and she just tore the EMG things (stuck onto my skin with tape) off, as I screamed! She kept doing it, though I explained the whole allodynia thing to her... she said when I winced and moaned in pain as she literally threw a sheet onto me, "I didn't even do anything to you!"... erg, she was hard to deal with, but I am alive, and kind of recuperated after that.
