Re: Question to those of us in England

[Guest guest]

University of Amsterdam's Academic Medical Center, polyclinic for rehabilitation

has half-a dozen CMT experts.

Food for thought...They do speak English, and you can pay your own way there,

although you may be able to have some of it payed for by reciprocal agreements

between these countries.

Hi, if you contact the Walton Centre in Liverpool who specialize in neurological

conditions they would be able to advise you who would be the best contact in

your area.

Hi Sam

Originally I was diagnosed as having CMT by Bates at the Freeman in

Newcastle on Tyne. Newcastle Uni is also doing a lot of work into neurological

conditions. If you google him you should find a lot of other info.

Faiing that and anywhere closer to home, Glasgow's Southern has a good quality

neurology team (ie they recognise CMT when they see it amongst other things!)

Discuss with your GP about how to be referred. Good luck and all the best.

Sam - I recommend the National Hospital for Neurology in London. Dr.

Reilly is the specialist in CMT that I used to see when I lived in England, but

I'm certain they have specialists in what you mention below. Go to their

website and see what drs they have http://www.ion.ucl.ac.uk/divisions.
