Hi, You say that Riley was diagnosed with CMT 3 years ago. How was she diagnosed Was it thru DNA blood testing or an EMG/NCV. If so, do you know what type of CMT she has Perhaps you know that there are around 20 types that they now have DNA blood testing for. And there are about 50 types identified so far and no end in sight. http://www.athenadiagnostics.com has a plan, I believe, to help with the cost.

Is she seeing a neurologist who knows CMT That would be one of the priorities as one who knows CMT could answer a lot of your questions. Or they should be able to.

As far as sleep apnea, it occurs in the general population as well. So I'm not sure that you could say it is tied with CMT. However, it could be.

What symptoms of CMT does Riley have Does anyone in the family show any symptoms of CMT or have been diagnosed with it

Many questions here but I hope you will post again and perhaps I can give you more information.
