Hydration plays a role as well. Subcutaneous fat (between the muscle and skin) of 9 mm can reduce an EMG signal by 80 percent. And men's muscles fatigue more quickly than women's do, which might be why the average time for a man to be diagnosed is 1 year, but the average for women is SEVEN years! Frankly, I think that's due to sexism!

The best MG centers will make sure an MG patient is good and warm while having an EMG/SFEMG. In some places, they soak someone's legs in warm water first!

I hope the appt. on Monday goes well, Navario!
