Annie... I understand completely.

The caffeine issue is in one of the quotes I put up above...
Caffeine gives twitches instead of other signals. These may cloud the issue during EMG.

It is a fine point. But it also begs the question as to why people are allowed muscle relaxants during EMGS...like Valium.
Doesn't this cloud the EMG results too? What this does is reduce tremors as well, IMO.

I personally don't think caffeine in large amounts is good for anyone. Myself included.

But a bit of chocolate daily, or one cup of coffee or tea, can't surely be so negative.

When your doctor gives you the information you asked for, please do post it here.
