ELECTROMYOGRAPHY AFTER EFFECTS

Well that was somewhat weird.

I woke up this morning to a ringing phone at 8.45am from an unknown number and it seemed I had one late last night too.

But I felt somewhat different as I woke up and was finding it difficult to come around and every part of my body felt is if it was ten times heaveir than it was the previous day?! Even lifting my hands alone seemed difficult and as I looked at the phone I then dropped it.

After awhile as I put more effort into rising I felt some soreness down my spine and eventually I got to my feet and felt some soreness on my calf muscles too.

With all that and my heavy head and real woozy state I wondered why I had felt like this and then remembered the EMG needles and that the parts that now ached and seemed stiff were parts that has a needle wriggled about inside them.

The woozy head and heavy feeling was a bit weird but I realised the test yesterday was to do with most of it but had not had one placed in my head, though not far away with my right shoulder.

I thought I had better read the notes that came with the appointment letter, well beyonw the part stating what was required of me before the test that is. AS I descnded the stairs I thought well if that guy was no Doctor and was indeed WORKING for another group and has poisoned mme at least I have been put out of my misery of starving to death or being made homeless!!

LMAO.

Sure enough when I read the EMG notes it did stat bruises and sore ness that would last a day.

WHAT A DAY FOR AN ELECTRIC DREAM

Here is a scan of the results to the Electromyography test. Might as well be Russian to me but someone somewhere might know what it all means, lol.



Well it has been a strange day.

After many years of waiting I thought today was the day when I would finally find out what it is that afflicts me. Being convinced of what I had read due to the incompetence and lies of a great many Doctors, maybe all one reason and maybe all the other.

But it turned out not to be the case and looks like Maya will not get to hear from me again telling her I have this exotic condition after all.

Told I must have a neurological condition and insinuating that Restless Leg Syndrome was the key to this along with a hammer of my heels that gave no response that wasted appointment I waited months for led me down a garden path to nowheresville!

I have spent the day in a kind of limbo. I have felt not only very tired by deflated to and another brick wall. Now that I think about it I cannot help but wonder at the sheer lack of professionalism of all these people you are supposed to bow down before fo them giving you their time?!

That Podiatrist called Mark I was referred to by a guy 15 feet away from his office, he tells me I should not have been sent to him, then insinuates that I am making things up, then says I have a neurological disorder hits my heels with a hammer and is shocked that he gets no reaction from either heel.

Everything he has said has first been contradicted and the prove wrong.

Te odd thing is lately is that, ad believe me when I say that this has NEVER happened before, is that all these Doctors seemed to know each other personally and speak as if they all spend Christmas day together?!

Mark says that mg GP Dr Gubbay is one of the best GPs around, Dr Gubbay says this about Mark (the Podiatrist) and today the Doctor that performed the tests said this about Dr Mort, my Neurologist, who caused me to realise he was the Doctor I was about to meet 100 yards away from where I was to meet him because he looked at me and did a double-take of me. So he KNEW me and had seen a picture, either that or Dr Carl Sagan was wrong and there IS something to Psychic abilities because there is simply no other explanation. Added to this is that there would be NO picture of me in my medical records.

Also I noted the other day, I rarely read this things through if at all, that Dr Mort referred to me in his letter back to my GP that I was a pleasant man?! An odd thing for a Doctor to remark about?

I cannot recall a time previously ever meeting two doctors that actually knew each other and it has happened several times, oh yes Maya and Mark knew each other well too.

So I just so happen to be living in an area whereby the loal hospital has one of the worst reputations around and yet I am lucky enough to have all the top people in their fields in the areas I have been referred to.

In my dozey, hazy, depressed and deflated state that has been playing on my mind!

Not normally a good thing as it normally means I am picking up on something and have no realised all the data yet, lol.

AUDIO: ELECTROMYOGRAPHY & NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES

Well I have to hold my hands up and it is one of those occasions that I am wrong.

Had my tests at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead today at 9.30am.

It appears that I had convinced myself of Charcot Marie Tooth Disease and that this was indeed my affliction but the nerve tests have ruled it out completely.

As I statetd to the friend who took me there in his car I was fully expecting to be fobbed off on this and in all honesty did not expect to be told of any findings.

The man seemed pleasant enough though and did not talk down to me, a relief, and I tend to believe him and it has left me deflated.

I also would not recommend these tests unless absolutely necessary and they were NOT how I imagined at all. If you HAVE A FEAR OF NEEDLES then I suggest you asked to be unconscious, lol. I had to have a needle place into the outer muscles tissue before it was wiggle about and pushed down into DEEPER TISSUE!!

Now if I remember correctly this was done either 4 or 6 times on my right foot and then my left, so 8 or 12 in total on my feet alone.

Then four times I think it was on each of my lower legs, So another 8 in total.

Then 2 or 4 times in each of my thighs, so 4 or 8.

Then there was a series of them down my back, four or more,  and in my right shoulder which I think was two but could have been higher.

No the odd thing is that, yes of course, this did have a sharp pain to each but when he inserted it into the left of my spine in the middle of my back I got a different pain, a painful MUSCULAR pain. Rather like that if you rubbed a torn muscle and this was DEAD ON the area that hurts and I told him so.

You will hear on the audio me explaining to him abut the Chiropractor and him telling me that they are not Doctors and not governed by the GMC or NICE?!

Also you will hear him tell me that my Neurologist is 'the best there is' which in all honesty and the only think to point to being set up. Well that and the fact that when he was running the electricity through me, like a very powerful TENS machine or muscle toner, he often turned it on with a fair amount of power and had that limb flail around. Stark contrast to other ones were it was barely noticeable, lol.
