Well, I just got back from having the emg. My good arm checked out fine. yea. My bad arm they discovered a brachial plexipathy (sp). Imagine that!!!
It was not that bad. only cried a little on the bad arm.I am now having a drink to celebrate that it is over. He used pediatric needles on me.I am so relieved that it is over.

Judy,
Glad to hear it is over. Pediatric needles, hmmm, I'll have to remember that. I mean, makes sense, I'm a baby when it comes to emg's.

Cheers,
Nancy

Aren't you proud of yourself!?! Job well done Judy. Glad it is over for you. Take it easy for a couple days. Sometimes the emg's "stir things" up for me and I am uncomfortable a few days after.

I think we should ALL have a drink for Judy!
