I have my neuro followup Monday. I have new ( or just worse) symptoms in left hand/forearm. Tremor, easily fatigued, visible atrophy in muscles compared with my dominant right hand. I had an emg/ncs on my LUE in June 2014 which was "normal."
I am charting out my labs through Liza Jane's spreadsheets. Most of the neuronal antibody tests have not been checked. Are they pre-screened through the ANA (anti-nucleic antibodies?) I've had my ANA checked at least once a year for 12 yrs. I was low-positive once (1:80) 12 yrs ago. Since then, within normal limits. I did test positive for acetylcholine ganglionic receptor antibodies last year (autonomic NS.) Should I just request the whole gamut of neuronal tests be done? I have sensory involvement with motor showing up later to the party. I feel like I am trying to stop a train by myself.
