Hey ,

Speaking for myself (lol SUE) there is NO sign of CMT anywhere in my

family. There ARE cases of spontaneous mutations and if tthe incidence

rate of CMT has doubled in the past 50 years,as statistics show, well,

probably so has the rate of spontaneous mutations. MY EMG tests are all

within the 'normal' range, just showing some reinnervation. , my

parents are both deceased, and obviously can't be tested. My sibling was

adopted at birth. But just the fact I have CMT, I chose not to have

children of my own; I spent about 8-10 years on this from every angle.

Keep asking thoose questions!

Gretchen,

How are your EMG results in the normal range? Doesn't CMT cause

deterioration and nerve loss? How did they know you have CMT? Sorry, so

many questions...I just am wondering....Also, what is reinnervation?
