Increase in CMT in last 50 years

[Guest guest]

Hi Owen, well, yes, and no. In the 1960s Neurology really got its

foothold in the medical field. So basically that's only 30 years of

diagnosis, etc. And there are so MANY neurological diseases and

symptoms. I DO think, however, now, just from watching this list for 3

years that MORE people are being diagnosed LATER in LIFE - I mean age 50

and beyond, whereas, CMT used to be diagnosed more frequently in

childhood. Other factors here include medical care, or lack of, denial,

etc. (alot of variants) I'd like to HOPE more Drs. are becoming aware of

CMT!
