Default EMG non reliable?

Now, before you go off and say it is.. I want to tell you why in my case it wasn't.

The first 2 times the neurologist hadn't warmed my hands and feet.
Sure, they put a warm blanket over them, but, they didn't soak them in scalding hot water for umteen minutes.

**Anyone that has taken anatomy and physiology, or knows anything about nerve conduction knows that the 3 things that speed up nerve conduction are 1. the myelin sheeth 2. the width of the nerve and 3. temperature **

My new neuro literally had me soak my hands and feet in SCALDING water for many, many minutes before my EMG.

Which then my EMG showed "some" things had improved, but some had gotten worse.


... I want to go back and say "YOU FLIPPEN MORON!!!! You can't just change a constant like that and then say I've improved!"

Do I have a right to be this mad? Obviously some things would be "faster" thus seem to have improve.
But, I had a new nerve show no response (thus, had declined), regardless of my neuro being retarded and changing the temp.

What do I do about this?
I don't exactly want a repeat EMG.. they aren't my favorite things.
