Ray, the fact that your brother had terrible neuropathy would have to be a smoking gun. I have no known family members with PN. That is interesting, and I'd ask if there are any other genetic testing that might be considered. I had CMT testing in 2018 and it came back with no markers. Ed

Good suggestion, Ed. I'll admit I know nothing about genetic testing. Just now, I was listening to a Foundation webinar on genetic testing and hereditary PN. Interesting stuff. And it has me wondering what sort of test was it that I was asked to take and what, if any, I might expect the results to be. Oddly enough, asking to take the test as I was getting ready to go seemed almost an offhand remark on the part of the neurodoc: "Oh, say, Ray, would you mind … " etc. –Ray
