I was tested for Charcot-Marie-Tooth. They fully expected me to have it, but I didn’t. My sister and I share many of the same symptoms, but mine are worse. My Dad and Granddad lived active lives with chronic pain. I have SFN, with the classic pain, now all over, and autonomic neuropathy, as it has affected my digestive system, bladder, etc. I was tested locally at a clinic for genomic medicine. They told me to just hang on, because new genomes are being discovered all the time. That I might get a call some day that they have identified mine, and then my sister can get tested as well. I’m not sure that it has to be CMT. I think that’s just the one that has been identified and studied the most.
