Thanks Kitt. I have an appointment with my neurologist again in February. I plan on asking for the genetic test at that time through Athena. When I saw him last, it wasn't a consultation so I didn't have much time to get details. He just said he suspects I have a heridetary peripheral neuropathy. I don't know which test would be appropriate, I only know I have a demyelinating neuropathy. My first EMG/NCV with a different neurologist indicated I had an axonal and possibly demyelinating neuropathy. So it's not clear to me right now which test to take. If you have any ideas I would be glad to get your input. I am assuming my neurologist is familiar with CMT but I don't know for sure. He is the head of neurology at the hospital I go to and he has been practicing for about 40 years. Believe me I am anxious to find out. Any help you can give from your experiences would be appreciated.

Jon
