So the stimulated SFEMG is more accurate! My regular neuro said that there aren't many doctors who know how to do it (and my regular neuro is an expert in SFEMGs that work by contraction). That's good to know. It gives me more confidence in my diagnosis.
I am actually guessing that the stimulated SFEMG is
much more accurate, because it revealed a very clear abnormality in the muscles around my right eye, where I have had almost no symptoms at all; whereas the regular SFEMG wasn't conclusive, even when used on my arm and leg muscles, where I do have significant symptoms.
Of course no one can give me a SFEMG on my side muscles, which are the ones that are most affected. It's evidently just not done. My regular neuro said there just isn't data on what's normal for those muscles.
