Nerve Biopsy on my son - to Cindy

[Guest guest]

that's ok i knew what you meant. the only thing is

that the nerve biopsy is on my son and also for my

son. no one else in the family has CMT that we know

of. however i just found out last night that several

women in my hubby's family have severly flat feet.

when i told them that they could possibly have CMT

they said that it was just flat feet and nothing more.

that they go to the doctor regularly and they have

said nothing like that to them. i tried to explain to

them that doctors don't know it all and most know

little to nothing about CMT. a few go to the doctor

that got me and my son set up with the shriner

hospital and even he thinks it only happens to men.

so despite all their arguments i believe this maybe

where it came from. just in case you missed my first

email regarding this my son is only 5 so that is why i

am not sure if i should have the biopsy done. but

three of my son's doctors seem to think he could

benefit from it for what reason i don't know. it's

alot of trouble to get them to talk to me like a human

lol. i'm sure alot of people in this group can relate

to that. anyway thanks for your input.
