EMG done

[Guest guest]

I want to thank you for asking about my EMG. I went yesterday and I

guess I should have studied because I didn't do well. My muscles are

bad. I also had the nerve test and it wasn't too bad but wasn't

normal either. I also got back my blood test and the enzymes in my

muscles is very high. The doctor said his diagnoses was that I have

Parkinson's Disease and also a Mitchondrial disease. He wants me to

come back in 3 weeks and have the blood test done again. If it is

still high then he might do a muscle test. He said he wasn't sure if

he wanted to put me through that or not. He also mentioned it could

be OPCA. I asked him about MSA and he said I had a lot of the

symptoms except for the rise and falling of blood pressure. I just

thought about it and I have never been tested for that. Isn't there a

test for that also. I don't know but my blood pressure was high again

yesterday 90/110. He said there was 16 different diseases in the

Mitrochondrial list. He said it has been narrowed down to 16 now. He

also said the reason doctors didn't know before because it was very

rare. I feel comfortable with this doctor being that he said he has

had 10 patients with this problem. He has worked at 2 research

hospitals including NIH. He said he will have to watch me and see how

my symptoms go to definetly tell me what I have and then might not be

totally right. I have to research mitrochondrial diseases now so I

will know something about them.

God bless you all,

Belinda
