Is it possible you mean you had a EMG? If so and you had an abnormal EMG that would not indicate MS. EMGs are used in diagnostic testing for other conditions not MS.

I may be wrong. I went for EEG and Evoke Potentials. The test on the right foot is where they attach a electrode and measure the response from the shocks to the brain. This is what he said was slightly abnormal because I don't think I could feel the shock in my heel of my foot that well but everywhere else I could.

I believe it was this:

Somatosensory evoked response or potential (SSER or SSEP), which is when the nerves of the arms and legs are stimulated by an electrical pulse.


Everything else, eyes and ears, came back fine. Thank you for the correction,I'm learning as I go .
