What diseases does an emg rule out if it is normal?

An EMG performed with NCS evaluates for mononeuopathy (problem with one nerve), polyneuropathy (problem with many nerves), radiculopathy (problem with a nerve root), neuromuscular junction disease (problem with the connection between nerves and muscles), and myopathy (a muscle disease).  If an EMG/NCS is performed correctly & it is negative (or normal), it can generally rule out those types of problems.

Is melatonin safe for CIDP or Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy?

Melatonin has been shown to enhance the full spectrum of the sleep cycle, including the deep cycles needed for the restoration of myelin sheath on neurons. It is also known to induce apoptosis (cell death) of certain cancer cells. Both cancer and CIDP share a common problem of an underlying systemic inflammation. It may be acting to reduce systemic inflammation as well, although this is a leap of logic but certainly a testable hypothesis for researchers. It is a safe substance, even for healthy individuals, and it certainly does not cause kidney damage like the standard immunoglobulin drug being used for CIDP. I am not saying to avoid standard medical treatment, however, I suspect their are natural substances that could be of huge importance to the management of this cruel disorder.

Why does Cymbalta weaning cause electric shock feelings?

Nobody knows for sure but it may have to do with a methylation defect that is common. This defect can create a problem with the myelin covering over the nerve alterning it transmission especially related with neurotransmitter dopamine. Most of my patients who have this symptom have higher levels of homocystine and MCV . Meaning the pain, depression, anxiety were resulting from a more primary pathway problem that was ignored to get short term symptom change. It is necessarily to find the pathway, the cause or the mechanism of whats going that take more time and is not the usual practice in the fast track medicine prescription writing world. thethyroiddoc.com

Chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy?

DefinitionChronic inflammatory polyneuropathy is nerve swelling and irritation (inflammation) that leads to a loss of movement or sensation.Alternative NamesPolyneuropathy - chronic inflammatory; CIDP; Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathyCauses, incidence, and risk factorsChronic inflammatory polyneuropathy is a common type of damage to nerves outside the brain or spinal cord (peripheral neuropathy). Polyneuropathy means several nerves are involved. It usually affects both sides of the body the same amount.The cause of chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy is an abnormal immune response. The specific triggers vary. In many cases, the cause is unknown.It may occur with other conditions, such as:Blood cell abnormalitiesChronic active hepatitisHIVInflammatory bowel diseaseLupus erythematosusGuillain-Barre syndrome is a form of inflammatory polyneuropathy that lasts for a shorter time.SymptomsDifficulty walkingDifficulty using the arms and hands or legs and feetFacial weaknessSensation changes (usually of the arms and hands or legs and feet) Numbness or decreased sensationPain, burning, tingling, or other abnormal sensationsWeakness, usually in the arms and hands or legs and feetOther symptoms that can occur with this disease:Abnormal movementBowel or bladder problemsBreathing difficultyFatigueHoarseness or changing voiceJoint painLoss of function or feeling in the musclesMuscle atrophyMuscle contractionsParalysis of the faceSpeech impairmentSwallowing difficultyUncoordinated movementSigns and testsAn exam shows:Loss of muscle massNo reflexesParalysisProblems with the sensesMuscle weaknessSensation problems on both sides of the body, moving from the arms and legs to the center of the bodyTests may include:Electromyography (EMG)Nerve conduction testsNerve biopsySpinal tapWhich other tests are done depends on the suspected cause of the condition, and may include x-rays, imaging scans, and blood tests.TreatmentThe goal of treatment is to control symptoms. What treatment is given depends on how severe the symptoms are, among other things. The most aggressive treatment is usually only given if you have difficulty walking or if symptoms interfere with your ability to care for yourself or perform work functions.Treatments include:Corticosteroids to help reduce inflammation and relieve symptomsOther medications that suppress the immune system (for some severe cases)Removing the fluid part of the blood (plasma) that contains antibodies from the body, removing the antibodies, and then replacing the plasma (plasmapheresis)Adding large numbers of antibodies to the plasma to dilute the effect of the antibodies that are causing the problem (intravenous immune globulin (IVIg))Expectations (prognosis)The outcome varies. The disorder may continue long-term, or you may have repeated episodes of symptoms. Complete recovery is possible, but permanent loss of nerve function is not uncommon.ComplicationsPainPermanent decrease or loss of sensation in areas of the bodyPermanent weakness or paralysis in areas of the bodyRepeated or unnoticed injury to an area of the bodySide effects of medications used to treat the disorderCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have a loss of movement or sensation in any area of the body, especially if your symptoms get worse.

What does this mean Scatterd foci of T2 FLAIR signal hyperintensity in the periventricular deep and subcortical white matter?

The above includes what was the first line written under "impressions" on my radiology report related to an MRI done w/o and with Contrast which I was given recently. I'm going to see my neurologist today, but can tell you what I know now. The doctors I've spoken with so far expressed concern, then some calming words such as, "the report wasn't conclusive," as the radiologist had included a number of possible reasons for the results. However, I've since read the fact I had an MRI six years ago during which this foci was not present, this presents a problem. The fact the foci is in the periventricular area typically suggests a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. However, my neurologist ask to look at the films himself, to confirm this foci or lesion, is new. If it is indeed a new lesion, this signifies a diagnosis of either Multiple Sclerosis or another demyelinating disease. (Note: I had a "small foci" of "abnormal T2 Flair" rather than being scattered. )
