I have had three SFEMG's and EMG's done on my face and it hurt. My advice take some pain killers before you go! Its a pain thats hard to describe, but its over quickly. It just made my eyes water profusely. The only thing I can compare it with is like being flicked with a rubber band- repeatedly!

I would still have a thousand SFEMG's / EMG'S done before I would go through a lumbar puncture! LOL

Also my eye / forehead swelled after the last one. It looked like I had banged my head. So ended up having an ice pack strapped to my head for a few hours- very attractive.

Im really pleased that you have a psoitive blood test, as it means you will get treatment. Unfortunately I am negative on all tests and had my diagnosis removed.

Love
