Kitt,
Glad you clarified that.
I do believe that CMT (as well as other inherited types, gluten/Celiac, a GTT, IGT, and a raft of other tests) was one of the things my neuro looked at when I first was being evaluated and Dx'd as a reason for my PN symptoms.
I thought, at one time that I might have been one of the few, 2nd generation, Middle European, Ashkenazic descendants - with the inherited gene problem. But that was ruled out.
I would hope that any good neuro worth his salt, would explore all possible avenues available. That's why I went to Johns Hopkins.
Since many of the symptoms are only tested on a subjective basis and very few tests are available on a biological basis....to determine types of PN- it is always prudent to check all possibilities.
