Ed - Thanks for the well wishes. Nobody in my family shares anything that ails me. Not one single thing. While I am overjoyed for them, I keep wondering if I could be adopted because I seem to be the only one with anything 😐 ( it’s confirmed I’m not adopted) I am doing Genetic testing in January though, my PCP thinks it couldn’t hurt to test markers for CMT, and I figure it wouldn’t hurt to see if I have anything that could be hereditary. This same doctor was a long distance runner who now has toe problems so she wonders if my running past may have contributed. Probably like PN, we might not ever know the why, but figure out how to best manage it I suppose.

Deb....I was tested for CMT...clear. I had small markers way out on the side lines but not near center with an arch indicating possibility. The neuro doc tested me because of my symptoms and my grandmother had hammer toes on both feet, she did not have PN that I can recall. She died in her mid 60's from heart failure. Recently found out a second cousin has PN, pain, numbness, non-diabetic. He has not been tested for CMT. Glad you're being tested. Never know.
