Marti, Stuff like this is never easy for those of us with CMT. CMT is so

misunderstood. My advice is keep fighting it and see what happens. My guess

is they have CMT grouped with M.D and that they don't care how you are

effected. Send them information from the MDA that states how CMT is NOT, M.D.

Just keep cutting through the red tape. I had to fight for medical insurance

coverage for a certain therapy I wanted to try. I was told NO several times.

Appeal after appeal, paper work after paper work, call after call, I was

approved. Same with SSI. I had to appeal all the way to the judge.

Good Luck.
