I had already had an EEG, which showed the brain working normally. I had already had my eyes examined and the results were my eyes were healthy. So, what was causing the double vision? An MRI discounted many diseases. The SFEMG showed a weak case of it. Of course, like the dr. said, he could do the test on any given day and it could show mild to severe depending on the symtoms that day. Hope this helps. I too at times think I am imagining my legs and arms being weaker. In fact, I am going to MUSC in a couple of weeks to have the SFEMG repeated and this time in the arm as well. Take care!

hey Kathie; may I ask why you performed an EEG; i believe that this is not a rutine diagnostic in MG...
