Confused SFEMG on face

Hi,

I'm having a single fiber emg test on Thursday at UNC. They are supposed to be testing the muscles around my eyes since this is where I'm having issues. I'm currently having double vision--no eye droop or other issues yet. I would like to know what to expect. Is the test painful? My initial bloodwork was negative for MG so that's why they are sending me for the SFEMG. I only realized about an hour ago that it involves needles and I'm really nervous now. I would appreciate any experiences that people are willing to share. I'd much rather be prepared when I go to the test. I'm just concerned that the test will be for nothing if a lot of people have false negatives. Just not sure what to think at this point.

Thanks,
Betsy
