Single Fiber EMG
Okay, I was here a while ago, but my head was spinning from the merry-go-around.
Anyway, I've seen many neurologist, who couldn't come up with a decision with me. Then, I get a call from my primary doctor, who said my whole work up was wrong. I have had every test under the sun. I failed a portion of my pulmonary function test, and I continue to complain about breathing when I lie flat.
Long story short, I have a 5.7 enlarge thymus (no tumor). Anyway, I was sent to the head of neurology. After that, an outside referral for a single fiber EMG was ordered to determined whether or not I have MG.
Since, MG is up in the air for me, I stopped taking my mestinon. I can feel the effects (legs feel heavy). However, I thought it was a good idea to stop taking the meds, so it would not interfere with testing.
Am I right, or should I do something else?
Plus, what should I expect? What areas will they perform the test?
