sandy,

get that thing checked soon....it could be a small ruptured blood vessel under the skin....whatever it is, u need to know.

i'm sorry u had to go thru the emg.....i know that sometimes they do them to rule out other possibilities but it's still torture.....i simply won't allow them to do an emg on me again.....my family doc sent me to a new neuro recently and he mentioned emg and i told him that unless there's something in it for me (like a promising treatment he wouldn't otherwise consider), he'd have to hog-tie me to do it......the funny thing is that the neuro thought about what i said and replied 'no, it wouldn't change anything....i'd just like to know what's happening'.......however, he did agree that an emg isn't needed right now.....so, refuse to have it if anyone suggests this test again because emg's are what neuros DO and sometimes they're operating on auto-pilot....
make them convince u that this is necessary.

i hope u start feeling better quickly.

liz

p.s......congrats on the grandson.....isn't being a grandmom great!!!
