Dan had another EMG and nerve conduction test today. Results definitely indicate a muscle issue, not nerve/spinal. They say there are no dead nerves, but they're bigger because they have to "talk louder" to the muscles. A muscle biopsy is planned, but no date yet.
Doctors are considering giving Dan steroids, but they can't really treat him for anything until they know what it is. He might go to a rhumatologist.
His iron levels are normal, toxic screens are normal, Creatine Kinase 355 (which is in line with what is happening with the muscles). Doctors expect that it is not viral nor auto-immune since his condition is not indicative of either. Tomorrow will be another full day of testing.
Dan might get out on a weekend pass, he'll know soon.
