My Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, I tried to introduce myself 2 days ago, I'm not

sure where I sent it, anyway here is another.

I am 49 and was diagnosed with CMT when I was in my thirties. I

had a triple arthodesis when I was 24 to help with my balance.I

only had my right foot done because I could not stand the agony.

I felt at the time my ankle was too sore to ever get better and

it never did, I am glad that I did not go back to have the left

foot done or otherwise I would not be able to walk at all, in

my case the surgery was not a success and I have suffered ever

since.(Doctor did not know I had CMT)

I have three sisters two a mildly affected and the youngest

sister does not have it at all. ( I have it by far the worst)

All these years of hiding my feet, and wondering why I had the

highest arches I had ever seen on anyone, tripping over thin air

and dropping things that I thought I had hold of, and now to

meet all you wonderful people who have the same problems I can't

beleive it.

I just thought I was on was my own and now too have contact with

others with the same problems is unbelievable, I have already

learned so much that is helping me thank you all so much and my

thoughts are with you all.
