Guest guest Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Marla, I had 2 EMG's and both of them hurt like heck. I cried with both of them. We have discussed here many times that it all depends on the Resident/Tech/Doctor who is performing the test. I guess I had 2 really bad experiences..... I guess saying to the Doctor that you are in " Good Health " was not a very good thing. But I think we all try to think that we are " Normal " and in good health, although that isn't always the case. I used to find it difficult to tell a doctor that I was sick or that something was wrong with me, b/c I guess I was in denial part of the time and didn't want to admit that my body was failing me, plus the fact that most of us don't look like we are sick. Hang in there!! Hugs, Ann-Marie At 03:12 PM 7/16/2005, you wrote: >manage well on the computer either. My eyes won't focus for very >long, plus the rest of me gets fatigued too.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi Marla, I am sorry about the snobby statement. I had a SMILEY face next to it but the email program you use might not have acknowledged it. I meant my comment in fun. I was only tyring to let you know that at times we are all just sooo fatigued and crashy that it takes us longer to answer some posts, but not to be discouraged we will eventually get to your questions. Others in this groups also have problems with their eyes and focusing and reading for long periods of time. And at times my fingers and hands get very painful from the Rheumatoid Arthritis. Just wanted to explain myself. Have a good day Hugs, Ann-Marie At 03:12 PM 7/16/2005, you wrote: >I didn't for a minute think that the group was being snobby.
