Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello

I wanted to introduce myself to the group. My name is . I am 38

and married w/4 kids. I was diagnosed with CMT1 in early January of

this year.

I don't normally post a lot on groups, I guess I am rather quiet.

However, knowing there are other people who I can relate to has been

a blessing.

I think I am adjusting pretty well to the diagnosis. In fact, I have

a sense of relief finally getting a definite answer. Not knowing was

really hard. There is no other family members that I know of who have

CMT or any other neurological disorder.

I had weak feet/ankles and a bad back my whole life. In July 2002, I

was finding that my right hand was not working very well. I had

difficulty grasping things and writing, etc.. that was when I went to

my GP. After being referred to three other doctors, I went to a

neurologist who specializes in muscle diseases. He diagnosed me.

I am thankful to have this forum to share/discuss with others dealing

with CMT.

Thanks,
