Just curious: would having Raynaud's effect the results of an EMG? Luckily, at Mayo, they warmed me up prior to the test because my hands and feet are usually pretty icy in an exam room.

One thing that helped during my EMG was that during the needle portion, I would look away and focus on my breathing. Deep, slow breathing made any discomfort much more bearable.
