I have an appt. tomorrow w/ a new neurologist. He is going to do an EMG on me. I have had them before and they hurt like hell. I'm not too excited about it. They are checking for carpal tunnel and to see the extent of the nerve damage in my right arm from the spinal cord injury. Please keep your fingers crossed that this neuro is a sane one. My regular neuro no longer accepts my ins. I still KIT w/ her and she's not thrilled that I'm going back to school, neither is my regular doc. Oh well, what do you do? Sit here year after year broke as a joke with no end in sight? I can't do that. I want my boys to have a good childhood with happy memories.....not memories of never going anywhere, me stressed out all the time, etc... Ugh, I'm just nervous and needed to vent.

Thanks girls, I'm getting ready to leave......I was up and down all night. I'm so tired of being cut, poked & proded on. If it will help it will be worth it. I'll let y'all know what he says when I get home this evening.

Is the EMG the same thing as a nerve study? My mother did one of those two months ago and she said YES - it was very painful. She said they put the little sticky electrodes on her leg and then ran what felt like electricity through her leg!

Hope it goes well and they are able to find out the problem!
