Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Welcome Steve, I'm so pleased you have joined our community. Thanks so much for introducing yourself. I'm a 'bit' older than you, and was diagnosed as a kid. I had foot surgery on both feet at the same time in the summer of 1962 which has lasted all these years. I've also had a muscle/nerve biopsy, and several EMG/NCV tests. No outward signs of CMT in my family, nor as far as I could trace back to 1725, but my neurologist thinks it is quite possible my CMT is from a recessive inheritance, and I suspect my medical genealogy might have missed something. My EMG/NCV tests are all in the normal range and show some reinnervation suggesting that I have some kind of CMT Type 2. I have not had the DNA test - no need for it at this point. Had it been available in the 60's I'm sure I would have had it. When you have time, surf through our Files and Links for some good " stuff " ! Jump in anytime with a question or experience and someone amongst the 1,900+ of us will respond. I hope we can be of help to you in 2008 Again, welcome!
