I am trying to learn as much as I can before I see the neurologist again in two months. Some have said doctors are not that knowledgable about CMT. I don't know if you are aware of the CMT Association website: Just type CMTA in your search window. You might find a doctor in your area from that website. That's what I have done and am going to get a second opinion from the CMT doc. Good luck.

Doctors and some neurologists are not that knowledeable as far as CMT goes. Here is the site to find a neurologist in your area who should know CMT.
