Nerve Velocity Test

Hi Mike
I had my test whilst in hospital on a Wednesday and I got my diagnosis on a Friday. In my case, I think all my tests combined gave me my results,! I dont think the nerve test alone was conclusive.
My son has his results within the week they test was carried out but as mentioned before this was a series of lots of other tests to give a final diagnosis including blood tests to detect the gene.
Hello Mike....
All of my five family members were diagnosed with CMT, which is also known by the professionals as, Hereditary(from parent), Motor(command nerves), and Sensory(touch/feeling nerves), Neuropathy(disease of nervous system) : It is also sometimes called, Peroneal Atrophy-(wasting/muscles):
All their Cmt diagnosis's were from two Neurologists (one paediatric) here in Glasgow, and it took six weeks to get the blood test results from Aberdeen University:
Later on we all had nerve velocity/conduction speed tests which confirmed that the nerve signal velocity on our Peripheral(near surface) nerve speeds were well below normal:
This defect(lack signal strength/velocity), over a very long period of time will cause loss of muscle bulk, and weakness, leading to wasting of yor muscles: We all were given our results verbally, immediately after the test, with a 'follow-up' letter sent to the Neurologist who referred us for the test:
There is no (at present) no known cure : POSITIVE MANAGEMENT ! both physical,and especially mental is the way forward ; Best of luck to you ! ! !
Hi Mike
I first saw the neurologist back at the end of January, he ordered the nerve conduction test along with many blood tests. The blood test confirmed that I had CMT type 1A. I then had to wait for an appointment for the nerve conduction test, this took about 6 weeks. I was then told that my test could take 2/3 weeks to analyse. So in short, I am going to see my neurologist again tomorrow (10 May) to chat about my condition as I have only received information from him by letter so far. That is NHS waiting lists for you!
Hope this helps.
