I was told it was too expensive...lol. It ended up OK, since I ended up with autoimmune markers in my blood. One can have both though.

It can be very expensive if you have to do a whole panel of testing - at least for CMT. However, Athena does have a plan to help with the cost. Your insurance might also help.
As far as CMT, they can now test for 22 + types. But, just because they cannot come up with a type, it does not mean that you do not have CMT. It would just be a type that they cannot test for. There are 50 types identified so far and there is no end in sight.
