I am a coward. I said no to the emg. and lost a dr. over it. I walked out as he told me I must have it, or he could not help me. I am stubborn too, I had enough pain without more being added. I cry easily, I don't like it when cattle prods are used on a cow. I was terrified like a dumb animal and I didn't like the feeling. I found another dr. and I had surgery and they figured out what was wrong, without that particular test. I was with a friend who had the test done, outside the room. Her screams decided for me, that I would not do it. I admit my failings, my fear, all of it. There are some things in this life anyway I will not submit to. I didn't like shots as a child, and hid under furnature, where they had to drag me out yelling. At almost 60, I am not much different. I wish you all the best, in what ever decision you make.
