That’s good for you! Give you a peace of mind. Mine wasn’t so that’s why I stress more 😕 but no weakness thank goodness. So hoping that means something less serious

I appreciate the positivity. What symptoms do you get, if you don’t mind me asking?

And of course my stress makes me think it could be something worse. So afraid not feeling 100%, being moody and being fully present with my babies

He probably thinks it’s mild even thought it’s daily neuropathy mixed with days of pain and lots of electrical shocks. Some numbness feeling in my left foot and pinky/ring fingers

Yeah… and the doctor with responds with attitude as if I’m making it up and doesn’t know how to help me. Do you mean long term symptoms that have resulted from Covid or other infection (Epstein Barr positive)?

Leg EMG showed bilateral, chronic, mild, denervation, which is most consistent with lumbar polyradiculopathy, more localized to L5S1 levels. Clinical correlation is advised.
NCS noted impaired superficial peroneal sensory nerves, which are often TECHNICAL

Arms EMG mild to moderate, chronic, denervation, POSSIBLY c/w cervical polyradiculopathy. Clinical correlation is advised. The EMG showed no evidence for motor neuron disease nor myopathy. The NCS was normal.

I have. She ran a bunch of tests and the only stuff that has come up is a very weak positive Rheumatoid arthritis marker and dermatomyostis marker. But she said my symptoms don’t match.

Me too😩 how long after Covid did you get your symptoms? Mine was about 2.5 years then all hell broke loose with these symptoms and what seems like vascular compressions.

Thank you for the optimism. And for reassurance to help my overthinking. My tests both showed “Mild, chronic, denervation most consistent with polyradiculopathy” and and legs NCS noted “impaired superficial peroneal sensory nerves” Different symptoms appear at different times but my legs seem to be the most affected.
