sue1234 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I had my one and only EMG. I am assuming I am saying the right test--it was where they did the electical shock. They also did the part where they inserted a small needle. I figured I would be like most people here and have a certain amount of neuropathy.OH, NO, in fact, I was told that I seem to be "super-sensitive". Nothing wrong with my neurons firing away!That kind of makes sense, because all of my adult life, things seem to hurt me easier. A pat on the back to me hurts. Someone handing me a "warm" dish in the kitchen is hot to me. Even coffee from anywhere needs to cool down before I can comfortably drink it.So, no neuropathy here.

Lovebug Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Sue...we are very much alike! I am the same way with sensitvity and over active nerves. Even when the doctor tests my reflexes my leg jumps above my head, LOL! I can expect to turn the corner in my house and know my husband will be there but I still jump b/c it scares me. Very, very sensitive (and as you know, this includes meds). However, I can't lie, I am so much improved since I started my treatment with my current doctor. He has me functioning like a normal human again. He's treated me since August. I could be better but I'm so happy to be an individual person again.

janietrudell Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Okay, so what does this mean? I have the same reactions - I am so jumpy! What are your other symptoms?And Sue how is your doctor treating you?Thanks,Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well,the neuro, after testing, just said "sometimes we don't know what to do with POTS. It's a fairly new health problem". The cardio wanted me to start on an alpha/beta blocker, but one day on a "piece" of that, and I ended up with a 65/45 b/p, so not doing that again.

Sallysblooms Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 What did he mean it is a new problem? Dysautonomia has been around for a very long time.It amazes me what most doctors do not know about Dysautonomia, CFS, and most problems.

sue1234 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well, I think the doctor said something about it being "new", something about 10 years ago.I envy the people that are getting things to try, like Florinef, IV fluids, etc. I just get the usual beta blockers, and not any help(so far) on getting them working correctly.
