Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 OK Diane, you are on the right track. I would recommend a pediatric neurologist. Also, perhaps both you and your husband could have the DNA blood tests - since he was adopted, it will save your daughter alot of pain rather than having an EMG/NCV test. The DNA tests are a simple blood test done in your docs office and sent to the lab. Here's the lab site, give to your doc if he/she doesn't know. http://www.athenadiagnostics.com There is no cure for CMT, but there are many ways to live a happy purposefilled life and many items to help should your daughter need them. I myself was a CMT kid, am 49 now and haven't missed much in life nor will I ever in the future!! ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or none, it could be spontainous. ~>Becky M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
