Can someone tell me of their experience with this test? Lord knows I'm no novice when it comes to needles but just how painful is this?

I had the test last week. I tested negative on all lab work. I was diagnosed with MG at the conclusion of the EMG test. The part of the test around your eyes (both sides of yor nose) was very uncomfortable and is hard to remain still. It's not needles, but electricity shock. It works the muscles by having them repeatedly contracted, the computer can tell if they become weaker.
Good luck!
