I do know more than any GP when it comes to CMT. And unless a neurologist knows CMT, I know more than he/she as well. I did not self diagnose. I've known about CMT since I was little (a long time ago) as it is in the family for generations. And I have seen the effects of it. My own symptoms did not happen until many years later. Thank goodness.

I am not self diagnosing - I do know what I have and have gleaned all the reputable information concerning it that is out there for years and years before we had the Internet. It was snail mail back then. And also anything reputable that has come along. They are doing much research on it as well. Just sayin' where I am coming from.

I do know there are plenty of other conditions where people are trying to self diagnose their problem. That, in itself, can be a problem.
