Your results are what we would call a completely, completely clean EMG. Looks like they did three needle insertions in the left arm, and likely two in the right. Neither had any evidence of fibs or polys or +waves, and both were listed as normal all across the board. Yes, that definitely means you're okay!

I cannot comment on the muscle waste or the weight loss...

One More thing. I have lost about 10 kilos for the last few months, so that may be the reason for the muscle waste
