My mom has a different twist, she said the the numbness is on the tops of her feet, instead of the bottom! It could be that her neuropathy comes for Pre diabetes, and my Dads side is Herditary CMT. I wonder if it is possible to have both forms from each line?

Yes, people with CMT can have other diseases which affect the nerves. (diabetes, thyroid disease, poisoning by drugs or heavy metals or toxins, bone marrow disorders, nutritional deficiencies).

Yes, it is a challenge, with Pre diabetes, hypothyroidism, and a history of nutritional deffeincies... I think I am doing quite well considering...

If it is CMT it sounds like it is from you Father's side. You can have any other kind of disease or whatever as well as having CMT.

Yes, that would make sense, though I have been spared the motor sensory nerve damage so far. I have very good balance, but a weakness in the calf muscles... My father had a much higher arch, with hammer toes, and a lot of pain. Hopefully I will be spared some of it!

It would be nice. But for CMT it is a long row to hoe. Maybe one day.
