Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I consider my CMT to be " mild " because I do not take any medications for it, experience little pain from it (just some numbness), am still able to work full-time and also have energy for other things, and am still able to do most activities including things like skiing, biking, short hikes or dancing. My muscles in my upper legs and arms are very strong which allows me to compensate quite well. However, I would not consider my CMT so mild that I barely think about it. I think about it constantly as my standing balance is not great and I am very aware of that when I am waiting in lines and whatnot. I do not fall as much as I did in earlier years, but I attribute much of that to paying close attention when I walk. I also think about it daily because my high arched feet and hammer toes don't work well in most shoes. My shoes are always reminding me of my CMT... if the discomfort isn't, then the fact that I'm wearing running shoes when others are wearing dress shoes or heels.
