re:cmt child/adult

Hi

I am now 47 and have had CMT for as long as I can

remember....but was finally diagnosed when I was 17. I

still remember the cruel kids in school...and dreading

gym class. Always being the last one to be picked for

a team,etc.

I have gone on to accomplish many things though. I

became an RN despite my instructor telling me that I

would never make it as a nurse. I worked in the

Operating Room for 22 years and was even voted

" Employee of the Month " . I wanted to call that

instructor soooooo bad!!!!!

I am now in the process of applying for Social

Security disability. I broke my foot in April and have

really noticed an increase in my symptoms since then.

I have finally come to accept my CMT(which I denied

for a long long time) and I am now more determined

than ever to be happy with what I have done and what I

can still do. Now that I am not working...I have found

that my energy level has increased tremendously. I am

looking forward to doing other things I never had the

time to do.

I may have this nasty thing....but I am determined to

not let it run my life.

Robin

Hope you have Happy Holidays
