But today I was in a hospital and got the nerve conduction velocity test. And the nerve conduction velocity is totally normal. So the doctors sent me away:-( They told me that the nerve conduction test is very safe - if it turns out normally you can't have MP. are the doctors right?? or are there some MP cases with normal nerve conduction velocity?or could it be that I HAD MP and it's healing now...?
I'm quite desperate now. the worst thing would be another desease without a diagnosis
I have had two NCS/EMG tests about 5 years apart and both normal which confirms diagnosis of MP. MP does not show up on MRI or nerve conduction.
