| Re: Nerve zap test
just get a copy of the overall results,there are just wayyy too many numbers given as perameters(when you get it you will see what i mean)to be able to tell you. they do give "normal" and "abnormal" as readings tho. i have had many of these 'fun" tests done too. this is called an EMG and nerve conduction study. thats what you want to ask for. but personally i really do think given your situation you may want to just ask for all of your medical records for your own files. you DO have a right to this info. i have to just to try and stay on top of all my medical issues. it does help alot,espescially when you have something that is progressive in nature going on. not only will you get any testing results,but also any clinic notes made by your neuro too. just keep udating things every so often. depending upon how often you see any doc,get your records like twice a year or once a year and keep everything most recent in some type of an expandable folder that you can take with you to all appts. this has helped me alot,espescially when some specific document or records have not been sent to another referred doc who you waited like months to see and someone "forgot' to forward it,you would have it right there in YOUR records. i never give up my own records ever,but tell them they can make a copy of MINE. just a very helpful suggestion thats helped me. good luck to you,Marcia

I have been getting some copies of my files with some DRs it helped but I guess with the CIDP those nerve and muscle test I never asked because I was to shy to ask and felt like I wouldn't understand the mumbo jumbo of it all.
