My brain gets more and more twisted when I read post like these. What confuses me is that the neuro's all have different answers about testing. How long to hold eg. Mestinon for an emg. I have heard overnight, a few hours, I read somewhere a few days, except when there are swallowing or breathing difficulties. What is the correct answer for proper testing? Clinically weak muscles have to be tested, how many times has this been ignored?? There were some good posts on the old forum about testing but I guess they are in cyberspace somewhere. Now I read about a broken machine and a new tech.
There was a good reply on the M.G. ask the doc forum about testing, I will see if I can post same.
Note please, I know that titres can be present with steroids etc. but if there is a low result it is not possibly a true result, especially if on long term.
