Daniella and MrsD: Thanks for the welcome.

MrsD: Do you have any thoughts on supplements for genetic neuropathy caused by defects in mitochondria (i.e., CMT2)? My understanding is that most of the supplements that you recommend are mainly for diabetic neuropathy patients. But I'm curious as to whether there could be any benefit for CMT2.

BTW, I should mention that I had the Athena test three times before a genetic defect was discovered. Athena is constantly improving the test to test for additional genes that are associated with PN. Further, I understand from my discussions with the lab director at Athena that they have just completed a study to classify genetic polymorphisms of unknown significance in CMT-associated genes as either disease causing or begnine. So PN patients who haven't had the test in a few years may benefit from re-taking the test (especially if their insurance will pay for it).
