Firstly let me say hello and welcome to all the newbies that have joined over the last few weeks. Ive not been too good recently so I haven't been able to welcome you until now. This is a fantastic site.

Ok so I have an appointment to see my MG Expert. Its week before Christmas. They have also booked me in for nerve conduction studies (sfemg) and EMG. Oh Joy just the 4th time I will have to go through this!

Previously when I have had these tests I have been on steroids. The last test in March ( I had only finished the steroids in the two to four weeks prior) found one jitter, (in a batch of twenty) obviously not enough for a positive test.

I want to make sure I have nothing in my system that could influence the results. So I know I need to stop the cigarettes (yes I admit it), Chocolate, Caffine. Is there anything else I should avoid? And how long should I stop with them before hand?

I already had planned to be off the mestinon for a couple of days before hand to make sure he sees me at my "best".

Any other advice as this is probably going to be the last referral I get due to our lovely system over here.

Any advice you can give me will be very gratefully recieved.

Love
Rach
