Default 2nd EMG Test Tomorrow - Scared

I have been struggling for a diagnosis and was suspected to have TOS. Now Neuro wants to re-test EMG to rule out Auto Immune Disorders, namely CIPD. Have the test scheduled first thing in the AM and am pretty scared it will reveal bad news.

I have some weird neuropahty in my arms which is bilateral, hoping it is not something more scary. TOS seems (is) bad enough, but to add more on top of it is just awful to think about. My poor wife has been through a lot this year as I've struggled with these issues. Hoping for a little good news for once.

I don't have any noticeable loss of strength, though I do have tingling and burning in my arms and lower legs. No trouble walking that I can perceive. No loss of reflexes at last evaluation. Hoping my lower nerve issues are related to sciatica issues and not chronic peripheral neuropathy or worse.

Sending good vibes to everyone and have found support on these boards through the last 6 mos. I wish I was never prompted to find such a site (if that makes sense) but I am very thankful I have.

(fingers crossed) that I •just• have TOS - as weird as it sounds to even say that.
