Default Confirmed App @ Northwestern

All seems to be going well, I have an appointment September 20th, and 21st @ Northwestern with Dr. Burt, and the neurologist there. They are preforming a SFEMG, and some other tests. They are also having me see the transplant specialist to see if he thinks I would be a good candidate.


Hope this all goes well...really would love this to happen.

nah don't feel left out. a sfemg or emg is a test that can diagnose you with mg if your antibodies are normal- or show up negative. it is a test used for many different diseases. it tests how fast the muscle responds. google it if youd like, they would give a better description.

Ive never met Dr. Burt and there's plenty of neuros there but Northwestern is SUPER nice and the nurses are great
