But since no one else has answered this, you might want to consider either reposting this question or just googling it! I don’t have a CLUE!

There is a support group for LEMS patients. The address is: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Lambert-Eaton/ An EMG is usually the most effective tool in diagnosing LEMS as not all people with LEMS carry the anti-bodies.

The diagnosis is based on a typical history with in addition at least one of the following:1) low compound muscle action potential after nerve stimulation with decrement at low frequency stimulation (3 Hz) of more than 10%, and increment after high frequency stimulation (more than 20 Hz or preferably maximal voluntary contraction) of more than 100%. 2) presence of anti-P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel antibodies in the serum. Anti-P/Q-type VGCC antibodies are present in the serum of at least 85% of the patients I have LEMS and here is our chat room.
