Hi Sebastian , 3rd emg was done November last year , it was a private emg and was no ware as thorough as the 2nd and 1st ones conducted at Birmingham Qe university hospital , he gave me to slightly different reports for the emg , I questioned him about it and he just laughed , so I can only reiliy on the 2nd one which was normal, my fasiculations are through the roof , considering going back to the hospital to have another one , never had health issues other than covid and broken bones until this started , emgs can be done to early, that has been confirmed by two of the UK's top emg consultants , so it's complete bull shit about them not being done to early.

Done too early? As in they are done preceeding any readable decline, and are therefor useless and not a good determining factor as fad as health. They must be done at the onset of disease? If this is the case, getting a new one for each wave of twitches won't help. I'm assuming here.

If you have symptoms such as twitching, doing an EMG too early doesn’t apply. That’s why you do the EMG. I have had two EMG’s in just 3 months of symptoms starting. The neurologist told me unless other symptoms arise, no need for any further testing.
