So worried about EMG about ready to cancel
by meikman, Dec 22, 2006 12:00AM
I have been looking up how the EMG is preform and now I am very worried about it. I seen some pictures as to where the needles are inserted and of course it looked horrible to me. So I had to go and prepay the Dr due to me not having any insurance and he did give me a good discount and I got such a weird feeling. I felt like I was going to be sick and just had the erge to run out of their. I have since come up with a hundred different reason as to why I can't go. I am thinking that since I don't have insurance that I don't need a dx and since the Neurontin is working really well (except it doesn't help with the horrible fatigue I experience daily) Also I am still very weak but I think that is to be expected since I haven't been able to move much because of the burning and pain and the weakness and the heat intolerence. I really think I need to just refuse any further treatment as long as the Dr keeps me on Neurontin.

I just had an EMG done yesterday.Yes they insert needles but they are so fine that you don't release it.It is and can be a little discomforting but a well worth test.It will definatly help with a diagnosis.

GO FOR THE TEST! It will be over before you know it and it will settle you once you get the results. It isn't that bad at all. I had one and very very very little discomfort. Well worth it!
