Charcot Marie Tooth Disease

[wife of cmt]

My husband was diagnosed with CMT when my youngest child was just 5 weeks old (Sept 2004). I have 2 boys, ages 3 & 6. The 6 yr old does not have high arches, he has very flat feet. He can hardly flex his feet and the muscles in his legs and feet seem very "tight". His handwriting is still about the age of a 4 year old. He doesn't have very good fine motor skills. Would these be a sign that he has CMT? How would the doctors test for that? Do we have to go to a genetic dr?

Thanks,

Get an emg test from a neurologist. I suggest seeing a neurologist who sees alot of people with cmt. Those symptoms could be symptoms of cmt.
be well,
