Hi,
I have a new rheumitologist, I explained to her about what my past "specialist" have said, like the Neurologist was surprised that I had a Dx of hereditary neuropathy, even after telling him about 6 people in my family with neuropathy, or my previous rheumi, who said "I don't know your father"...
So she said, why don't you just get the DNA test? She would order it if, I want. I don't know if it is necessary at this point it is only to prove to the doctor that I have it, as I know I have PN.
So my question, does anyone know how much the DNA test for CMT 1a would cost? I pay cash, so I should get a discount, but was wondering what others might have paid.
BTW the Rheumi mentioned taking Alpha Lipoic Acid, but my understanding is that it is mainly for diabetic neuropathy?
thanks in advance...
