There are tests (looking for Zika-specific IgM class antibodies) which show whether somebody has been infected with the virus.

If you have been infected with it then specific investigations of the possibility of GBS are worth raising with your health team.

Makes sense, I'll do it

Hang in there Banjanti. About 1.5 years ago I was in a similar position to where you are now. I had pretty much convinced myself that I had MND - and that put me in a significant depression. I'm doing much better now, and I am convinced that a good portion of the symptoms I was experiencing at that time were stress related. Keep looking for the answers, but live it day by day, and take time every day to just relax.

Hey, thanks, I appreciate it. Mind is a powerful thing and I'm really digging myself deeper into depression every day like you say

A known PhD neuromuscular neuro said to me today that she doesn't really know what I have. She said my EMG neuro is kind of authority in that field, so she trust her work
Doesn't look like polynurophaty, problem is elsewhere, maybe not even in the nerves when it comes to pain
When it comes to denervation, no ALS clinical signs, but can't be excluded
I'm started to worry that I cough it on EMG because of unrelated pain symptoms before it lead to more noticeable symptoms...
Or can still be radiculophaty
I've brought viral involvement but she's referring me to a specialist in that field to check it out
She said I don't show gbs symptoms

It looks like I'm running out of options and the worst is not excluded :-(

I'm sorry to hear that they're having a hard time figuring out what's wrong I truly hope that you get a solid diagnosis sometime soon.

Best wishes to you,

Thanks! I hate that limbo state and I'm an anxious person
