#MondayMGTakeover The SFEMG, or Single Fiber EMG, the gold standard for diagnosing MG. This test confirmed my diagnosis, as I had abnormal jitter and blocking consistent with MG. It is more complex than a typical EMG and there are only a handful of facilities that have the SFEMG equipment, as well as, practitioners skilled enough to perform the test properly. Its quite painful, as you are poked with a needle in the forehead/arm repeatedly, and the dig around with the needle after insertion while attempting to isolate the muscle fibers. https://depts.washington.edu/neurolog/images/emg-resources/Neuromuscular%20Transmission.pdf
