Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 you certainly have come to the right place. Everyone on this forum has CMT and everyone has their own stories, their own versions and symptoms of it. Sometimes you might read something on this site which will frighten you into thinking that you will end up the same way. But that's not true as I say we all progress at different rates and started off our lives with varying degrees of the disease. You sound just fine and you can and will live a normal life. I'm 40, a mother of three boys, been married three times (okay so that's not normal). I live in England, I have my hobbies, my work and I'm in a wheelchair BUT I was born severely affected by CMT. Yes it's a normal life - normal for me. My family and friends don't treat me any different and silly things in the course of my work I meet a lot of people - many I've emailed or phoned beforehand and when they meet me they often say I didn't realise you were in a wheelchair - I normally say you didn't ask but it doesn't stop me doing what I have to do. Yes I've had to give things up as many have on this group but we've adapted because we too are perfectly normal. Does this make sense? Go and see a doctor. Go and get help, listen and learn and you'll find that life with CMT really is great. Love and hugs Sue The important thing is never to stop questioning.
