Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi, The doctors told my father and sister that there was a 50/50 chance of both children having it. it's just me and my sister. my sister got the DNA test with my dadand when the both had it they asked about me. he said that since my sister had it I wouldn't. About 2 years later I hurt my back at work and they did all kinds of tests MRI Xrays and my spine was fine then they sent me for an EMG and I found out I had CMT I went to the same MDA doctor my dad and sister went to and they did a DNA test and I have type 2 CMT. so don't believe the doctor. My father didn't find out till he was about 48 so sometimes you don't show symptoms at an early age. I did construction work for 13 years and I was 33 when I found out. So just keep an eye on the kid's and I hope they don't have it. Take care of your self and I hope things get better. Tommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
