Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 I would say that I also have a " mild " case. To me that means that I can do almost anything that I want to physically and I do not use AFOs or other aids. I do have the typical foot and hammer toe problems, (the Dr. says that my foot muscles are very weak and atrophied) but my strong leg muscles compensate. I have weakness in my hands, and my fingertips are numb and I have pain from muscle cramping, etc. I think my case is " mild " because I have read of some of the problems other people are having with this disease and I realize that I have an easier time of it. Also, I would classify my case as " mild " because no one would know that I had CMT or anything else by casual observation. I also wanted to say how wonderful it is that the children's book is being published! I am a librarian in a public library and I think it is wonderful not only for the children who may have CMT or a similar problem but for all children to learn compassion and be educated. AND congratulations on the birthday! This group/site has helped me so much! Thank you Gretchen. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
