Have any of you had this facial EMG? I'm thinking of calling and asking if I can take tylenol or something ahead of time to help with the pain during the procedure.

I had it on the face. It was very uncomfortable, and the length of the procedure is probably what makes it so bad, rather than actual shocks. I wouldn't say its painful, per se, though. I'd check with the doctor before taking something as you don't want to screw up the test and have to go through it again.
