How do you FEEL?: The best way to tell how well you have recovered from this complicated illness is by how you feel. Since long-term there's no specific treatment and conditioning is important, you are the one to answer the question. And you're right -- a normal EMG does not rule anything in or out. Hope it's a good recovery, best of luck.
