Does anyone know much about these features, which one happens first demylinating or axonal problems? Thanks for any help with this question.

Have you been tested for CMT? DNA blood testing is available for around 22 + types of it. It is costly. Your insurance may or may not help. The DNA blood testing could rule in or out CMT. Do you have any family history of any of this?
Have you had an EMG/NCV? I can't remember if you have or not. With CMT it would depend on the type as to whether it is demylinating or axonal. Thank you.
