EMG/

[Guest guest]

Oh , I feel for you. Hang on; don't do anything

yet. It sounds like your first Dr. had the right

readings on your EMG and is able to certify that you

can no longer work and are disabled under the SSA

guidelines. My question is, did you have the NCV test

done too?

If the SSA requires another test (which sounds sort

of luducrious at this point), they will have you get

one. Yes, the EMG/NCV test does hurt - even with the

smaller needles used now. Another test will most

likely feel the same. Seems like the second set of

Drs. just want to give you more tests!

I have learned to stick with ONE doctor - no files

come up 'missing' and everyone in the office knows

me. Nothing gets lost and I am treated with respect.

I get copies of all reports and correspondence too,

to keep for my files and records.

Did I give you that group address for people applying

for SSDI? I would encourage you to join, if even for

a while until you are through with the SSDI initial

process. The people there are ALL just about where

you are - you may get some really good feedback.

Hang in there. ~ G
