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.
Years ago with my first doctor, he did a test with needles and electricity. If that is a SFEMG, then it can be determine whether you have peripheral (side) muscle weakness, because he determined that I had peripheral nerve weakness.

He had a very thick accent, but I "think" he diagnosed with Charcot-Marie Tooth Disease (CMT). All I remember hearing him saying was some acronym that started with a C, and that the muscles will get weaker as I age.

I did some research and I have many signs of CMT, but I also have a very enlarged thymus and difficulty breathing.

I guess there is nothing to say one can only have one disorder in their lifetime.
