Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hello.. i don't personally have CMT.. i have a friend who just told me recently of his ailment.. I don't look at it like its something that will hold him back from leading a great life.. .he is only 21 as of yet.. and the symptoms are not too horrible.. although he has been told that due to the progress... he should be in a wheelchair by age 60-65.. so.. i am trying to better understand this disease.. and possibly come up with some ideas or ways.. that he can prevent.. or at least slow down the progress... right now all he has is leg pains.. on occasion he can't walk for a few hours cause his legs get weak.. my thought is its the ligaments that are starting to deteriorate/weakening that is making this happen.. i just really want to help him find ways to become more comfortable in living with this.. and dealing with it.. so if anyone has any ideas it would be well appreciated ... i am open to any suggestion... thanks for listening..
