Guest guest Posted February 13, 2000 Report Share Posted February 13, 2000 Hi everyone. I'm from the Philadelphia area. My CMT story starts from June of 1999. I woke up with a numb left hand and was told it was probably carpal tunnel syndrome. After my first EMG, I learned I had a peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel. Months went by with no improvement(it actually got worse with vitamin B6 and the wrist splint), so I had a second EMG. This time I just had a peripheral neuropathy. Off I went to a new neurologist and had more blood test done. At the request of this new doctor, I had a third EMG. I felt like a laboratory rat! Finally, I was told it was CMT; however, the genetic test said I did not have one of the three types available for testing. Now I'm being shipped off to see another neurologist in March. I said to my last doctor, " All I wanted to know was whether or not I had carpal tunnel syndrome. " Does anyone have leg twitches? They are annoying. How can I make them less bothersome?
