Has Anyone Ever Had The SFEMG Test Done?
I have not had that test yet, the SFEMG. Hoping not to have to get one at this point. I have researched it thoroughly and besides it being painful and expensive, the test results depend greatly on the expertise of the person doing the test, the environment of testing area (temperature, etc.), whether or not you have had any meds before hand, and how long before hand, and so on. At this point, I am trying to be my own advocate and say no to continuing this process of testing after testing after testing with no clear results. I have been told that if my Mestinon works and greatly helps my symptoms, then that is enough proof. Also, I did the ice pack test on my eye, and that test showed a very noticeable change. I hope you do not have to endure the SFEMG.
Hi Yvette I’ll let you know what the dr does😊
Never had one of those tests, I guess I was lucky thqt my blood tests reveials ACHR and Musk, confirming the diagnosis.
Not sure but I had an EMG test where they hook electrodes up 5onypur wrist to see muscle reactions in your legs. Hurts like crazy, have someone drive you there and back. My test was a 3 part test. Electrical pulses 7 in a 10 second period, wait 60 seconds, get 7 more in 10 seconds, wait 60 seconds, get 7 more in 10 seconds. Worst part was the power was turned up after each set. I felt a bit like Frankenstein. Wish I would have had someone to drive me home afterwards.
The single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG) test is a diagnostic tool for myasthenia gravis. It is more accurate than repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) but less commonly used due to its complexity. SFEMG measures how well nerves communicate with muscles, helping detect mild cases of myasthenia gravis that other tests might Show Full Answer
