Doctors

[Guest guest]

A pediatric neurologist would be the ideal doctor for your little

daughter. A doctor would first get the family history of CMT, perhaps

then do some manual (and non-invasive testing) check for reflexes,

sensation, watch her walk, etc. Maybe then an EMG/NCV test (a bit

invasive and hurtful for alot of us with CMT - she can be given a mild

sedative) then depending on those results, the doctor may want to

suggest DNA blood testing (a simple blood draw) or maybe the doc will

just skip the first ones I mentioned and go right to the blood test.

But the first step is to find a good pediatric neurologist.
