  • Summary

  • Whether you or a loved one are newly diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease, or you are a seasoned CMT pro, The Cryptid Sloth Show is the podcast for you.

    Charcot Marie Tooth disease, or CMT for short, is an inheritable peripheral nervous system disease. Also known by names such as Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (HMSN), Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN), distal Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (dHMSN), and many others, CMT is the most common inheritable neuromuscular disease, yet nobody has ever heard of it, including many in the healthcare profession. If you, a family member, or a friend are diagnosed with CMT, chances are reliable information is hard for you to find, and chances are you have more questions than you have answers. The Cryptid Sloth Show is dedicated to bringing you those answers.

    Show host, Kenneth Raymond, is a CMTer with CMT1A. Diagnosed in 2002, at 29 years old, he has made it his passion to learn and absorb as much about CMT as he can. Learning from the best and brightest CMT experts, and from the CMT patient community alike, Kenneth cuts through the complexities of CMT by engaging you in meaningful and thought-provoking discussion.

    With each episode, The Cryptid Sloth Show translates the complexities of CMT into easily relatable narratives that Kenneth presents from the patient perspective on a wide range of topics that are important to CMTers. Show guests include everybody from world renowned CMT experts, to everyday CMTers, and everybody in between.

    New episodes every Wednesday. Join in, subscribe, and bring a friend or two.

    Ep. 3: Change Changing Places
    Feb 17 2021

    Does CMT change types from one generation to the next? Can CMT change types? Can somebody inherit a different type of CMT than what their mom or dad has? The answers are easy, but getting to the why and how behind the answer requires a little bit of digging.

    In this episode, we tackle the questions about CMT changing types through inheritance and explain the how and why behind some families having more than one type of CMT.
