There have been occasions where I've thought about the genetic disease charcot Marie tooth as the cause of my symptoms. The variant CMT2 is axonal so wouldn't necessarily show on a nerve conduction test. (mine are always clear). I've got hell fire sensory symptoms for sure and I have what I believe are motor nerve symptoms and hunting for the 'proof'. The reason I thought about it more is because my mum and her side of the family have hammer horror feet! It was always a joke that the family on that side had hammer time toes. But when I saw that some of the manifestations can be hammer feet I have sometimes worried that is the cause, that possibly my mum was a carrier (no one else has nerve or muscle symptoms like me, only the hammer toe look). I understand from reading that it's not easy to diagnosis cmt as there are numerous genes involved.
Does anyone here have a diagnosis of Cmt type 2- also referred to as hereditary sensory and motor neuropathy. I believe this type is only axonal as opposed to demylinating. |
