Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Larry, Thanks for the reply, Larry; I would certainly be interested in any info you get from the medical community in Italy which does a lot of research into CMT.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 : My move to Rome is just 3 months old. I was born in Chicago and probably acquired my CMT through my father. His family is German for more generations than I can count, so the Mediterranean angle doesn't fit my history. The only dispositive test for CMT type is a DNA assay to see which genes are involved. The EMG is dispositive only on how nerves conduct. As my wife and I decided that our combined gene pool should stop here, we never had children and I never has a DNA assay. The weird results of my latest EMG are causing interest in my medical team here, and they may ask me to have the test. A will pass on any information on as I get it. I have begun a blog on what an ex-pat life style is like for an old cripple like me.
