Default Newest EMG worse than last, but don't understand it.

Ok, I got the dictation today.

It says:

"Findings: Distal latencies were prolonged and conduction velocities reduced in nearly all nerves tested. Ulnar SNAPS were reduced in amplitude. Peroneal and sural SNAPS were absent.

EMG of selected upper and lower extremity muscles was normal except for some reduced recruitment in the left FDI and gastrocnemius.

Conclusion: The is an abnormal study. There is electrophysiologic evidence of a primary demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy with some secondary axonal loss on NCS, though there was no difinitive evidence of denervation on EMG."

.. MMKAY.

So I have zero clue what that means other than I now have 2 non-responsive nerves and a year ago I only had 1.

Does anyone have any clue does this EMG report line up with anything that they know of?

I go to neurology on Wednesday, and I just have a feeling now that she's going to tell me that she wants that darn nerve biopsy.
And I'm never going to get anywhere..

I hate to get all pesimistic.. but, its how I'm feeling ATM.
