we do see one common ground, tremors

I have CMT, but no one in my family has it. I have no siblings, but 43 first

cousins and I also have two children who are both in their 20s. None of them

have it that I know of.

However, there is quite a number of family members who have had

Parkinsons(late onset)disease on my dad's side of the family.

Has anyone ever heard of any link between Parkinson's and CMT?

Hi Larry, I really don't know of any link but I have restless leg syndrom, and

I take Sinimet to calm them. this is a parkinsons medicine.
